EUROPE'S largest touring equestrian show starring the world's finest daredevil Russian horsemen is coming to the North-East.

Featuring 30 horses, the production includes Arabians, Friesians, Lusitanos, Shetlands and Shires.

The riders' skilled horsemanship has created stunt techniques that are still used in movies today.

Organiser of the show say it does for horse riding what Riverdance did for Irish dancing.

Spirit of the Horse is in the Equestrian Touring Theatre at Kirkleatham Showfield, Kirkleatham, near Redcar, east Cleveland, from July 9 to 13.

Ticket range from £14 to £28 for adults and £10 to £18 for concessions.
