“Nature”, the new equestrian creation presented at the Domaine de Chantilly, tells the story, in 12 scenes, of the immutable link that Man has with nature. 26 horses, 11 ponies, 3 donkeys and eight riders for this equestrian show. It is a magnificent spectacle thanks to the beauty of the horses’ coats and especially the fabulous costumes signed Monika Mucha. The costumes echo the colors of the seasons and the headdresses made of bouquets of flowersare spectacular.

“Nature” is a show that in our opinion is mainly aimed at dressage lovers. Here, nothing spectacular for neophytes of the equestrian world. No perilous acrobatics, but dance steps executed to perfection by splendid horses. Pure poetry. The show is accompanied by the very bewitching Corsican music of the singers Benoît Sarocchi and Ghjuvan Petru Pieve and the sometimes extravagant instruments of Jean-Lou Descamps. They set the musical tone for these seasons with captivating compositions, music and songs specifically created for this show.

The show lasts 1 hour.

Sophie Bienaimé, put in the saddle by her father, himself a grand equerry and creator of the Living Museum of the Horse in Chantilly, has taken over the horse museum and presents equestrian shows all year round in Chantilly. Its objective is to highlight the equestrian art and particularly the art of dressage at the Grandes Ecuries de Chantilly. After Kavallisté last year, “Nature” shows the permanent work of riders with their horses. Here, 8 riders and 26 horses and a very strong relationship unites them. Every day, the riders take care of the care, grooming the horses, the five daily meals and their physical activity.

As Sophie Bienaimé explains so well, “What I like most is to highlight the horse and rider couple so that everything looks fluid and harmonious. You have to create an understanding between the two in the work, create a complicity, especially since they spend many hours training together. Once the riders have been selected, I compose the troupe and I entrust each one with a horse already trained so that she can learn to hold her own in the saddle, with a sense of the stage. Because even if they are excellent technicians, the artistic sense must be expressed just as much. Each rider has three horses and the public always tells us that they feel the close relationship we have with our horses. We must know them by heart in order to be able to anticipate the slightest movement. We are real partners.”
