Incredible show weaving together singing, cirque performances and 40+ majestic horses displaying breathtaking skill and beauty. Definitely a must see show. TIPS for a pleasant experience: use UBER or LYFT and avoid the complete nightmare of a parking situation. Much worse than previous years. For VIP, arrive very EARLY to avoid a very long line getting in or plan to eat 15 minutes before the show. An employee told me the massive congestion in the VIP tent this year is due to them selling 200 more VIP tickets per show but the organizers clearly didn't plan for the extra people. There is a hidden EXTRA ROOM in the back of the VIP tent for extra seating but it's colder in there so wear layers. After the show, WAIT in the VIP tent until the barns are open. We stood in a line for way too long in the cold (almost leading to a revolt by tired, cold, irritable, and uniformed folks) because no one told us that there would be a PA announcement when the barns opened and that a line wasn't necessary because everyone is allowed into the barns at the same time and you can walk through as leisurely as you please.
Finally, beware of getting splashed or dirt/sand on you in the first two rows. They do hand out towels but a raincoat as a shield might work better.
Enjoy one of the best shows and try to minimize your frustrations with the event organization with the above tips.
