🐴🦴 HORSES INSIDE OUT IS COMING TO CRAVEN ARENA! 🦴🐴

THIS IS A BIG ONE! 👀

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Horses Inside Out and Gillian Higgins are coming to Craven Arena, North Yorkshire, on Saturday 31st October! 🎉

If you’ve ever wondered what is really happening inside your horse when they move, carry a rider, jump or change pace, this is your chance to SEE it happening! 🤯

Gillian Higgins is renowned for her incredible anatomically painted horses, bringing the skeleton and muscular systems to life as you watch the horse move. This unique approach makes equine anatomy and biomechanics fascinating, visual and, most importantly, something you can actually SEE and understand.

And we are incredibly excited to be bringing this experience up North! 🙌

✨ What can you expect?

🐴 Watch anatomically painted horses demonstrate how the horse moves on the lunge

🦴 Explore real horse bones and anatomy displays

🏇 See painted horses working under saddle

🔄 Discover the biomechanics behind paces and transitions

🤸 Watch gymnastic jumping and explore what is happening inside the horse as they move

And if that wasn’t enough… our VIP experience gives you prime arena seating, complimentary Prosecco/Appletiser and nibbles, plus the opportunity to meet Gillian, meet the painted horses and get a behind-the-scenes look at the lecture demo! 🥂🐴

Whether you're a rider, horse owner, coach, student, professional or simply fascinated by horses, this is an afternoon you won’t want to miss.

📅 Saturday 31st October
📍 Craven Arena, North Yorkshire
🕛 Doors open 12pm
🎟️ General Admission & VIP Tickets NOW ON SALE!
