Veterinary & Professional Oversight

Across all locations, our horses benefit from ongoing veterinary partnerships, farrier services, and educational care protocols. Preventative healthcare including vaccinations, routine exams, and dental care helps keep each horse in peak condition. Farriers work on consistent schedules to support soundness and performance readiness, and our professional teams continually evaluate both physical and emotional well-being.

You can arrive as early as an hour and 15 minutes before the show to pick up your tickets and enjoy the preshow entertainment while you wait for show time!

There is no bag policy; however, all guests will pass through a scanner upon entry, and all bags are subject to search if deemed necessary by our security personnel.

Value seats are situated at an angle near the ends of the performance area, close to where cast members enter and exit the stage. This option provides a more economical option.
