Cavalia horses trot onto the red carpet of Montreal's biggest equestrian stage

The Cavalia horses of the Odysseo show were introduced to Montrealers on Thursday in a red carpet walk/trot.

Cavalia is a massive Canadian-owned company that specializes in live shows mixing equestrian performances with theatre, acrobatics and stagecraft.

Since 2003, the event has travelled to perform in front of more than 8 million spectators worldwide throughout over 70 destinations including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

Renowned for being hosted at the world’s largest big-top tent, the spectacle returns to Rue St. Catherine this summer, right at the foot of the Jacques Cartier Bridge.

After arriving from a 10-day vacation in Sutton, Quebec under the surveillance of their dedicated team, the 70 horses were given a hero’s welcome ahead of the equestrian extravaganza’s premiere night on July 25.

The beautiful animals officially took up residence at their new temporary stable tent next to Odysseo’s signature White Big Top Tent.
