l received a phone call from Ellen Kent International Opera Company, they required a team of  four horses to perform in their production of Carmen in the Round to be staged at Leeds Castle. We had been recommended to them as the company to use. Here are some photos from the event.

We had a great time  at the venue, whilst the show was only on for one day we had practice on the Friday and as usual there was alot of hanging around - as l had anticipated this l had requested that  stabling was on site and under a tented top so we all had somewhere to get ready in case it was raining. These are things you have to think about on these sort of productions also l didn't want the horses to be in the lorries all day

Team consisted of me with Suzannes Idolo, Sadie Web with my  Jacque, Serena Palmer with my Aldo, joining us for the first time was  Jill Shepard with her own Nectar

Everyone busy cleaning the equipment
