An unusual new ‘Equestrian Variety Performance’ is coming to Unex Towerlands this Christmas.

Produced by former Olympic team member, Tanya Larrigan, the show features top presenters like Karen Basset, from the world of driving, Paul Hayler from dressage and Karl Ude-Martinez, TV presenter and leader of the Knights of Middle England display team.

Up to 40 horses from miniatures to Shires will appear in 12 displays, each different from the last. Watch out for the Fluffies Pony Club polo, plus comedy and classical riding, jousting and much more.

And Tanya will also be performing with her fabulous Mini Marvels miniature horse team, including Riverdance and other favourites, plus some new routines.

With music, lights and action there is something for all in this Christmas spectacular, plus the Oakleigh Food & Crafts Fair indoors on both days with Father Xmas and an Elf in tow!

The show is at Unex Towerlands, Braintree, Essex on Saturday December 6, 7.30pm and Sunday December 7, 2pm & 6-30pm. Tickets in advance only, full details at www.themagicofthehorse.com
