Cavalia

One of my favorite Christmas presents that Linc got me was tickets to Cavalia- the Cirque de Soleil equestrian show at Atlantic Station. We are big fans of Cirque and have seen many of their shows through the years so when I found out there was one including horses I started dropping some very obvious hints that I would like to go! The original shows were all sold out but I noticed new billboards advertising that they were "Held Over" and kept my fingers crossed. Luckily for us, the tour decided to stay in Atlanta an extra five weeks and Linc was able to get us tickets and surprise me for Christmas!

The show was absolutely spectacular and so much fun to watch. I am amazed at how well trained the horses and riders were. They put on a great show and it was the perfect way to ring in the New Year with my sweet husband! Cameras were off limits inside the tents, but here are a few pictures I borrowed from the internet to give you an idea of what it was like!

Thank goodness the show was inside! It was 23 degrees out!

Sneaking a (blurry) photo before the show begins!

The two princesses did a Pas de Deux on horseback.

The horses knew exactly what to do during each segment of the performance!

These riders were perfectly in sync the entire time.

It wouldn't be Cirque without acrobatics and crazy stunts!

There were six trick riders that performed at the end of the show.

Riding atop the horses was impressive enough and then they started jumping!

This performer rolled around the stage while the horse followed along!
