THE world's finest daredevil Russian horsemen will be coming to Malvern next month as part of Europe's largest touring equestrian show.
Spirit of the Horse is a lavish production starring 30 horses, including Arabians, Friesians and Lusitanos, thundering Cossack horses, spirited Shetlands and the poetic motion of stunning Andalusians.
The two-hour show, which takes place at Malvern's Three Counties Showground from Thursday, November 20 to Sunday, November 23, features an international cast of riders, dancers and performers from Russia, Argentina, Spain and Ireland.
One of the highlights is the daredevil Russian riders the Ali-Bek Cossacks of Cavkas, performing feats on their mounts at speeds of up to 25mph.
Led by Mairbek Kantemirov - the grandson of the founder - the Ali-Bek Cossacks formed more than 75 years ago to preserve traditional skills of horsemanship.
Other highlights include a series of dramatic displays by Spanish riders Real Escuela Del Arte Ecuestra Antonia Perez.
The show also includes equestrian ballet and a performance from Suso, one of Europe's funniest comedy artistes.
After each performance the audience can visit the stars of the show - the horses, and their riders in the specially-designed stable pavilion.
Tickets are £12 to £32 and available by telephoning the box office on 01260 288681.
