Cavalia, the equine and equestrian extravaganza being performed in St. Louis through April 8, combines all the flash and spectacle of a circus with the serenity and beauty of a walk in the woods.
The show, called “A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse,” explores humankind’s longstanding relationship with horses.
Cavalia features 37 highly skilled riders, acrobats, aerialists, dancers and musicians and 49 magnificent horses.
