Cavalia — Horse Show — Mini Review
Yesterday I went to see Cavalia — which is essentially Cirque Du Soleil with horses.
I saw the Cavalia tent go up about a month ago — it’s right across the freeway from the Pentagon. You can see some of the horses just below the tent.
I thought it would be intriguing to see the show, but of course I was cheap 
. But then to my surprise, in the elevator in my apartment was a sign that said “Come see Cavalia for 50% off this Friday and Saturday for residents.” Sweet!
I went to see the Saturday night show. I bought one of the “blue” area tickets — normal price $100 — 50% off $50.
The first thing upon entering the tent is that it’s huge. Really impressive to see such a tent on the inside.
The show started with some trivia — How many horses are in the Cavalia stables? 64. How many are mares? 0. All Cavalia horses are male.
The show alternates between acrobatics with horses, and acrobatics without horses. The parts with the horses were pretty cool.
But why does every Cirque Du Soleil type show have to have girls twirling in the air? How does this add to a horse show?
So was it worth the $50? Sure. How many times am I going to be able to see an acrobatic horse show after all? Would it have been worth $100? Not really.
