Hippike: A Gypsy Legend

A spectacular aerialist and equestrian show.  Located in Ricoh Coliseum shows at 2pm and 7pm until August 28.

There was so much for the eyes to see.  There was a cinema type background screen, which was mostly displaying horses — but much more.  There was a singer and someone playing a violin, guitar and accordian (of course not at the same time).  There was a dancer, aerialists and acrobats.  These performers were on three different small stages near the rear with lots of room for the horses to entertain.  Then of course the horses with the riders dressed in costume.  All of these performers were wonderful.  I’m really not certain how long the performance lasted — time just flew as it was very entertaining.

There were railings on the stairway leading to the seats, which I found very helpful going up and down the stairs.

There was so much I saw that it is really hard for me to put down in words.  All I can say is that it is worth the while to go and see it.  I heard one woman say she was coming back again early for the 7pm performance.

About Denise

Denise was very excited to be a blogger for the CNE this year. She is looking forward to sharing her experiences at the exhibition with everyone. Originally from Toronto, it was a yearly summer end treat each year. Still to this day the CNE has a magical effect. The dazzling lights of the rides at night. The different smells from the vendors selling everyone's favorite treats. The people working the midway calling people in to take a chance – try this game. The sites of small children with evidence of candy floss left on their faces as their eyes glisten with pleasure. Every time Denise goes to the exhibition she finds something new and exciting. No visit to the CNE is ever the same. There is something there for everyone. There is just so much to see and so much to do – she really doesn't think it can be experienced in one day. Two of her favorite activities are the Horse Building and the Food Building.
