In Cavalia, horses cavort with the many artists in front of a constantly changing digital background projected onto a 200-feet wide screen, drawing spectators into dream-like virtual environments. Unlike traditional horse shows, Cavalia’s audience faces a single 160-foot-wide stage which allows the horses space to gallop at full speed, at times running completely free, unfettered by bridles or halters. Cavalia takes place under a white, 26,264-square-foot big top, rising some 110-feet high that gives the horses an ample playground to perform with their trainers and artists.

Must be a legal resident of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia who are 18 and older. Winner will be selected in a random drawing. The winner will receive four tickets to see Cavalia on Saturday, Dec. 22 at 8 p.m. PST. Approximate retail value of tickets: $438. Click the PDF above for complete Official Rules.
