About the Horses and Facility

Horses

Our Horses come to the Noble Horse Royal Riding Hall from around the world. Their unique talents and diverse backgrounds provide you with an unforgettable performance.


A Few of our Stars

Gitano, a rare black Spanish Andalusian stallion from Spain is specially trained to do "airs" above ground.
Hercules is a pure white Lusitano stallion who is a former bull fighting horse from Mexico.
Arab, a rare black Egyptian Arabian, is a high school horse who is trained for fourth level dressage work.
Additional stars of our show are specially trained horses who work in tandem with our Russian Cossack riders. These horses are specifically trained to assist the Cossack Riders with their vaulting acts and other amazing riding tricks.


Horse Care

Noble Horse provides care for more than seventy horses. Our horses begin working at the age five and then retire by the age of twenty-two. Many of our young and retired horses live at our farm in Triumph, Illinois. The show horses train and perform in the riding hall for five days and return to the farm for rest and relaxation. Our draft horses work in the City of Chicago providing carriage rides for part of the week and are rotated between the farm and Chicago to ensure adequate time off to rest. To provide the best care possible, Noble Horse has a veterinarian on call twenty-four hours a day and maintains clean and spacious stalls for its horses.
