I took my wife to see this while it was in Houston. I think she liked it, but I was disappointed.
To be fair, I didn't realize what type of show I was really going to see. When I saw the ads, all they show is people with horses. I assumed it was a fancy set of liberty performances like that guy (Hans or something) we've seen clips of on here from Europe). So, we got tickets.
Well, it's a bit too...how should I say this?...ah heck, it's too artsy fartsy for me. But, if you like that Cirque du Soliel stuff, then you'll love how they incorporate horses into almost every moment of a show full of acrobats and skinny, gentle boys with mullets and miniature females on bungee cords who all dance and flip.
There were a few
really good parts with the "Ultimate Mullet" guy (last person pictured above...who someone just used to insult Mel Gibson) and some horses at liberty, but there's also a lot of people riding a walking horse to music that drag on and on. There's also some parts where they're just basically chasing a horse that runs from them or playing with a horse that's just waiting to see the right gate open so it can exit. We've all done that plenty of times at home, but to someone who doesn't have horses, it would be cute. There's some pretty good trick riding thrown in, but if you've been around horses long enough, you've already seen it.
Laura: As far as what to wear, we wore tan slacks and button up shirts. Then we sat between one couple in a suit and dress and another couple in jean-shorts and t-shirts.
: Tell Danny I said to be sure to get a beer before you go in. It lasts awhile and you probably won't get another drink until intermission.
