Burbank, CA - This year marks the 13th annual Fiesta of the Spanish Horse, a revered Southern California equestrian tradition that raises funds for cancer research organizations. It also plays an important role in integrating communities by honoring horses and people steeped in rich tradition.

The four-day event, from May 4-8, features multi-breed horse show competitions and a Charity Spectacular, which features an evening of equine entertainment and an educational multi-cultural experience celebrating the heritage and historical impact of the Spanish horse. This year, the horse show expands to include a day of dressage, a day of driving, and performance classes for Andalusian, Friesian, Gypsy, Paso Fino, Peruvian Paso, Plantation Walking Horses and Open Classes.
