Freddy Steele and “The Spectacle of Equitation”
Renowned equestrian performer Freddy Steele is set to make history at the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) Scottish Game Fair (SGF) in Perth this July, with Scotland’s inaugural equitation performance. Scheduled to take place at the picturesque Scone Palace on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 July this show promises an unforgettable experience for attendees.
Freddy Steele, a distinguished horse trainer and equestrian performer, has a passion for Iberian horses and boasts an impressive resume that spans across the globe. Freddy’s expertise shines through his commitment to a deep understanding of horse behaviour and innovative approach to training, bringing in a variety of horsemanship techniques from around the world. His highest world ranking being 9th in 2019 for Cossack trick riding, emphasises his reputation in the realm.
Partnering with Freddy is the talented Holly Barber, an international equitation rider and trainer, with a wealth of experience dating back to the age of 13. Together, Freddy and Holly have combined their love for horses to create “Spectacle of Equitation.” The show combines Lusitano horses performing in traditional costumes, with ground performers, fire, and circus, creating an effortless dance between horse and human.
Expressing his excitement, Freddy Steele remarked: “It is a tremendous honour to debut our new equitation performance in Scotland, and we are thrilled to bring this unique spectacle to Scone Palace. We aim to leave a lasting impression on the audience, showcasing the beauty and grace of the equine artistry.”
