Wellington, FL—November 11, 2002—The 119th National Horse Show is proud to announce that it will host a specially-produced musical freestyle dressage exhibition when it hosts its 119th edition, and first at the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club in Wellington, FL, November 26 – December 1.

Large black Friezian stallions will perform dressage movements choreographed to music, which has been compared to a fine ballet performance. Horses teamed from a pair up to 8 stallions will perform together with costumed riders.

These Friezian stallions perform Prix St. Georges movements each with black mane and tail flowing. The performances will be held daily, Wednesday through Sunday. When not performing, the horses and riders will be available in the barns all week and welcome visitors to stop by and visit the magnificent animals.
