London, OH, July 25, 2016— Equine Affaire returns to the Eastern States Exposition in W. Springfield, MA, on November 10-13 bringing its legendary program of clinics, seminars, and demos and its ever popular musical celebration of the horse, the Fantasia. The 2016 Fantasia will take place at 8:00pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (November 10-12) in the Eastern States Exposition coliseum and is made possible once again through the generous sponsorship of Absorbine®.
As the entertainment cornerstone of Equine Affaire, the Fantasia showcases the beauty, diversity, athleticism, and willing spirit of horses of a great variety of breeds and provides the perfect ending to a busy day of shopping and learning at Equine Affaire. Outstanding equine and equestrian acts from throughout the United States will perform to a wide range of musical styles to create an evening of unforgettable equestrian entertainment for horse lovers of all ages.
“This year’s show will offer just the right mix of drama, comedy, fast-paced action, remarkable horses, and remarkable horsemanship,” explained Eugenia Snyder, the President of Equine Affaire. “The 2016 Fantasia will incorporate many of the elements that veteran Fantasia-goers have come to expect at the event including Grand Prix freestyle dressage, driving, horses performing at liberty, garocha, and drill team performances. We’re thrilled to be able to once again feature two of the best liberty horse trainers and performers in the world—Guy McLean and Tommy Turvey—and also introduce several very special acts and performers that will be new to the Fantasia and to the New England audience. The show will feature plenty of sensational equine entertainment provided by Icelandics, Andalusians, Morgans, Paso Finos, Percherons, Miniature Horses, Warmbloods, and Quarter Horses---and plenty of reminders of why we find horses so intoxicating.”
