Cavendish's Horses

About

Witness expert horsemen in flamboyant 17th century costume training for art and battle to baroque music in the spectacular surroundings of the Riding School at Bolsover Castle. Behold breath-taking displays of horses in training, as they refine the methods created by one of the great equestrian masters, William Cavendish.

With their elegant Spanish horses, the Atkinson Action Horses will amaze you with a demonstration of skilled horsemanship displaying the complicated movements of Cavendish’s time which are also as relevant today.

Atkinson Action Horses are one of the leading trainers of horses for film and TV, having featured on Poldark, Peaky Blinders and many more. Benjamin Atkinson is trainer to the Royal Equestrian Club of Dubai. Please note that photography and filming is prohibited during the displays.
