Carl Hester and Lee Pearson to perform with Spanish Riding School
The Spanish Riding School of Vienna has announced that Carl Hester and Lee Pearson will be performing in Sheffield as part of its 2014 UK tour.
Olympic team gold medallist Carl Hester will open the show with a master-class and a dressage to music performance. 10-times Paralympic gold medallist Lee Pearson will then join him.
This is the first time that white Lipizzaner stallions have visited Yorkshire and the evening will be hosted by TV presenter Nicki Chapman.
“This will be the third time I have supported the Spanish Riding School of Vienna on tour and I am excited about going to Sheffield,” said Carl.
“I train lots of riders based in the north of the UK so hope that they come along to see this great show.
“Nicki Chapman and I will show the audience how the modern sport of dressage has evolved from that of the classical art and to be able to watch the 2 side-by-side is awe inspiring and magical.”
The Spanish Riding School of Vienna 2014 UK tour starts in Sheffield on 31 October for 3 nights followed by a further 3 nights at Wembley Arena from 14 November 2014.
