About
The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation, in Jerez de la Frontera, is famous all over the world for its show called "How the Andalusian Horses Dance", a unique exhibition of horsemanship which both exhibits and summarises the work which the institution has carried out since its establishment. Although the show "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" may be considered the highest attainment of the School's work, there are other aspects which are regarded as equally, or even more important, for the Institution. Among these, we would like to highlight its role as a social and cultural vehicle for our equestrian heritage, the selection and promotion of horses, the training of Haute Ecole riders, the preservation and promotion of Classical and Country Dressage (Doma Vaquera), maintaining the prestige of our horsemanship, the breed of our Spanish horses, our traditions and culture. Furthermore, the show enables the Royal School to play host for the Province of Cadiz and to act as ambassadors abroad on annual tours to various foreign countries. In addition to the show, you might enjoy a visit to our training facilities as well as the Museum of Equestrian Art and the Carriage Museum.

Having attended the show on our last visit to Jerez, this time we took the ‘backstage’ tour. If anything, I enjoyed this more! Our guide was really informative and to be able to see behind the scenes as the school goes about its everyday training and exercise was Fabulous ( I admit I’m a horse lover). Plenty of time Un guided to watch the training sessions, both in the arena and outside, as well as visit the museum etc.

An impressive place. Very attractive building and grounds. You can watch the horses being trained outside in the morning. We had tickets for the show which is once a week on a Thursday at 12.00. Show is very good. It is about careful skill of the horses and riders. The only criticism I would have was the late start as it did not get going until 12.25 as they appeared to be waiting for various well dressed dignitaries to turn up who were all late. We had to miss the second half in order to catch a train. So go early and watch the horses train and don’t be in a rush to get away in case the show is delayed.

We came here to see the horse show only, although you can buy tickets that allow you to see other things here too like the museum. In January there is only one show a week on Thursday at 12pm. We bought general tickets from the box office just before the show and ended up in section 6A seats 74 and 76 which were very good seats with only 2 rows of premium seats in front of us. All rows are tiered anyway so everyone gets a good view. It was quite cold inside when we went so wrap up warm in the winter months as it is unheated. There’s a little café inside where you can warm up with a coffee in the interval. We enjoyed the show, horsemanship is such a big part of their culture here we felt it was something we should see. The musicality of the horses is amazing, they clearly know each piece inside out and where they are supposed to be at any given moment. It really showcased these beautiful Andalusian horses and what they are capable of. Definitely something worth seeing in Jerez, the grounds are beautiful too and there is also a gift shop to buy souvenirs. Our only criticism is that at regular intervals there was commentary about the show over the speakers but only in Spanish. It would be a fairly easy thing to also do this in English as a common language that a lot of tourists speak and would mean non-Spanish speakers would get more out of the show.

Wednesday 30/10/24 Jerez flooded by DANA Pass
31/10/24 show for which we have tickets the complete with everything
We are in Seville [we are from La Rioja] and we call the civil guard who gives us the phone of the civil guard of Jerez and tells us that the weather is changing that Jerez is on alert and that the road is with aquaplaning that we stay in Seville
I call the Royal School and they tell me it's okay and they're still with the show
So I can't assess and certainly as they say with their ethics and morality and listen to the client because I don't think
Little draw and more with what has happened
If your policy is if there's a show, tickets aren't returned, I think that's right, but we didn't go for risk.
They could have made an exception and by the time we can get back
The Hotel Pinomar del Puerto have done the opposite and have been able to live up to such circumstances because we have not been clear

The show was quite a spectacle. We are not equestrian sports fans, yet we were thoroughly impressed by the skill and training of the horses and the riders. The ticket also included visits to the Museum of Equestrian Art and the Coach Museum, both of which are part of the complex.

It is truly a place full of charm, worth a visit. Everything exudes passion and love for the horse and pride in the excellence of Spanish equestrian art. It is also an excellent alternative to the overly popular visits to the hundreds of sherry cellars (unless you are a fan).
The stables are beautiful. They are located inside an octagonal building with the saddlery (the Guadarnés) in the center where the harnesses, saddles and bits of the stallions that perform are kept. The boxes that house the Spanish-bred horses are arranged in five stables of 12 boxes each with a wonderful cobbled floor.

We travelled by train from Cadiz, very cheap and convenient. The school is about a 15 minute walk from the station. The school has a small cafe which served sandwiches, cakes & good coffee. We sat on the first row in area 6 (midway) and had an excellent view. The show started about 10 minutes late but was worth it. The riders basically showed perfect control and timing to the second. Beautiful horses, it must take endless hours for both horse and rider to be able to execute their routines. With a short break, the performance lasts about 2 hours. Jerez old town is also very pleasant.

Nice museum where the history of the art of riding is explained. We are into historical riding and have Spanish horses at home.
Then we came across the outside training ground and what we saw there was just the complete opposite of what you claim. A young rider in a “training” session. Absolutely horrible riding, completely over-paced, mouth pulled to the chest, constantly drifting over the outside shoulder. This horse was not allowed to be proud anymore, it was just in fear. The rider was just brutal by pushing more and more forward, completely out of rhythm, at the same time pulling reins left and right in turn.
That had nothing to do with the traditional way of riding and it was even worse than what you see in most modern sports stables. What a shame!!

Although we’re not particularly into equine activities, this tour was really enjoyable. Our excellent tour guide, Xavi, told us about the history of the place, showed us around the facility, gave us insight into training techniques and even let us pet a horse or two. He also does a very good impersonation of an Andalusian dancing horse!

This is an amazing place to visit to see the horses training. Do arrive at a time for an English tour as it is so interesting to hear about the selection of candidates for the school and both their and the horses training. You also get to visit the horses in their stable plus see them training in both the indoor arena and outside paddocks.
It is worth paying extra to go into the museum too. Wandering around the lovely gardens and seeing the house was really lovely. It is on the outskirts of Jerez and we caught a taxi from the center as too far too walk. There is a small cafe within the venue but several restaurants and cafe on the main road nearby.

I am sure I read somewhere that you can visit and watch training sessions for free!
Can anyone confirm if this is correct?
Written November 4, 2023
I believe you can but it may be more by luck than through planning.
Contact them directly, I found them very helpful.

Hello, could anybody tell me how long is the reduced visit? They don't mention it on their website. I have booked tickets to see the horse show at 12pm and would love to book the reduced visit on the same day if possible. Thank you very much
Written February 21, 2020
Really sorry - I can't answer this one as we booked and completed the full package on the door. Maybe it's the main building and the museums onsite and not the carriage museum which is further down the road. That would make sense as the whole complex closes shortly after the show (about half an hour, I believe). They are very helpful at the gate so would probably answer your query and sell you the appropriate add on.

Intente comprar las entradas al show por internet, pero me pide un DNI Documento Nacional de Indetificacion.
No tengo DNi porque soy ciudadana americana. Intente con mi numero de pasaporte pero tampoco pude. Que debo hacer?
Gracias
Written August 9, 2019
Le aconsejo lo mismo que Manuel B: llame al teléfono indicado. Estoy seguro que podrá comunicarse perfectamente con La Escuela (tengo una amiga que trabaja allí, y es de Londres), y conseguir las entradas. Y disfrute de Jerez, tiene mucho que ver (sólo por sus caballos, vinos, flamenco y patrimonio histórico ya merece la pena unos días).

para comprar online, las entradas al show, pide el DNI. SI no somos espanoles y vivimos en Estados Unidos que inofmracion debemos poner cuando nos pide el DNI?

Hi, we will be arriving in Jerez by bus, and then leaving by bus the same day. We will have our bags with us. Is there a place to store our luggage during the show? We already have our tickets. Thank you.
Written July 13, 2019
I would imagine so, as there are scanners at the entry to the building. There is also left luggage at the train station beside the bus station - this will save you lugging your bags in and out of a taxi or walking a mile to the Equestrain School wheeling them behind you as you perspire in the Spanish heat at midday before the show.

Are we able to visit the stables on a Friday or Saturday?
Written July 2, 2019
Tours are available on Friday (10-16) in August - Sept and on some Saturdays depending on shows. Otherwise it is Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the year. Other times may be available when part of a tour group that has contracted with the school. This is what we did as we explored the Carriage Museum and Stables.

As far as I know and this Wass the case on my visit there are more than enough seats and you can sit where you like that is not already occupied

Buonasera,Volevo sapere se è possibile effettuare la visita generale anche nei giorni o negli orari degli spettacoli(Quindi se si puo' assistere comunque agli allenamenti in quei giorni).Grazie
Written June 19, 2019
Buenas noches: nosotros hicimos la visita una mañana de sábado, y una vez que salimos del espectáculo, pudimos ver el resto de instalaciones (museo, etc...). Y, además, el museo de enganche que está en una calle cercana (calle Pizarro). Y todo fue en la misma mañana. Espero que te haya servido de utilidad la respuesta. Disfruta de mi ciudad, donde serás bienvenido.
