65 Horses Vacation in Hollister Before South Bay Debut

As the logistical and technical teams work on completing the Odysseo Village in Downtown San Jose for the highly-anticipated South Bay debut of the world's largest touring show on September 14, Odysseo's 65 magnificent horses are enjoying a relaxing 10-day stay at a nearby farm.

Following sold-out performances in Oregon, the four-legged stars were transported to a spacious farm in Hollister, CA, in specially equipped trailers alongside Odysseo's equine specialists. The Odysseo herd comprising horses of 11 different breeds - including the Appaloosa, Arabian, Australian Stockhorse, Holsteiner, Lusitano, Paint Horse, Percheron Hanoverian Cross, Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred, Selle Français, and Spanish Purebred (P.R.E.) - is under the care of a 20-person stable team. Trainers, veterinarians, health technicians, groomers, and a farrier create a comfortable environment for the horses and provide daily health care, grooming, and activities.

At their retreat, the horses are surrounded by generous paddocks, where they can bathe in the sun or roll in the mud. This interlude between shows is part of Cavalia's horse care and training philosophy, which is based on understanding the needs, preferences, and emotions of the animals, and on mutual respect, kindness, patience, and trust.

The Odysseo cast and crew will present a breathtaking and unique theatrical experience during its San Jose run. Audiences of all ages will be taken on an epic journey to some of nature's greatest wonders, from the Mongolian steppes, to the African savannah, the Nordic glaciers, Easter Island, and a lunar landscape, illuminated by shooting stars and brilliant nebulas.
