From mid Oct until yesterday our world became very Mongolian!
And last night it ended.
What a journey
The Mongol Khan show came to The London Coliseum - the first time this epic show has ever left Mongolia with a crew of over 100 people coming over to show London the world of ancient Mongolia
It was an amazing spectacle gaining 5 star reviews all over
We are honoured to have been asked to be involved with our horses and having the director "big boss" as he's known to ride Teake under Wellington Arch in London and visit our centre to practice on him. The Mongolia cast also came to train here with our horses before The Lord Mayor parade a few weeks ago.
Here's some amazing photos of the journey we've been on and if you managed to see the show, great, if not we hope it'll come back one day!
Thank you and we've made some new Mongolian friends and had some amazing experiences over this time.
Our horses have been to Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Harrods, The Mall, Theatre land, Mayfair, The Kings Road, Camden to name a few places recently showing off!

Amazing shoot we did back in the summer.
We were approached by Creed to bring in a black horse for the job. Unfortunately Teake was too big for this shoot so we brought in Faraon who is smaller and asked Dominic Sewell to come along with him for the shoot.
Plaits and mega horse shining up by our groom Jordan Palmer and Horse Master was Karl Greenwood. Good work everyone

Wow what a crazy time it's been recently

We've been busy working with The Mongol Khan show that's coming to The London Coliseum on November 17th.
The show riders cake from Mongolia and we all ride in the Lord Mayor's Parade yesterday in London.
Amazing.
6 of our horses went out and we had 1 weeks notice of this !! Everyone else preps all year.
My horses were a bit fluffy and wintery but we did it!
Well done to everyone that supported and helped to achieve this.
We are exhausted and teaching today at our centre but hoping to get a rest on Monday before more filming on Wednesday.
The parade was super noisy, busy, shouting, waving, lots of huge inflatables, so, so many marching bands, we had a bagpipes band behind us but the horses did really well. Phew. Super proud of them.

Happy Halloween from Felicity and Zana here at Stampede Animals

We’ve had a fun week this week and feeling a bit tired now, check out the video of what we got up to in the East end of London with Carnaval one of our Andalusian horses and Karl and me dressed as NYPD police.

This was a launch for a new series on Amazon Prime called The Continental and it’s a 3 part series from the John Wick films set in 1970’s New York.

The set was really cool and they did out a whole hotel with character actors for this 4 night launch.

Guests came out of the cinema across the street to this American set up with actors and recreation of the scenes in the film they’d just watched.

The hotel was part of the Soho Farmhouse chain

We love jobs like this, totally up our street and our horses are so used to being in London streets as are we.

Meet Vidar. Vidar is the Norse god of vengeance, silence, and resilience. He's also our new Manx Laoghtan ram. He will be available for Celtic, Norse, Viking style photoshoots, film or anything actually! He's a Primitive rare breed so suits that genre perfectly.

Been a bit busy here recently
The Harry Styles music video coming out meant 3 different interviews from radio stations in 24 hrs, a shoot for a famous sports brand in London was mega cool and then Canter camp at our centre this weekend. Today was meant to be a shoot here but it got rescheduled due to weather.
Tomorrow we are aiming for a tiny weeny day off, that'll end up being an hour off but that's how summer goes.
The saddle by Avair saddles was just amazing to ride in and use on the shoot. Thank you Poppy Webber and Avair
Also huge thanks to for the dressage pads, bridle and stirrups www.stampedestuntcompany.co.uk

Saving a bat this morning. He’s OK now. Hoping to release him or her later this eve. He was totally wrapped up in a cobweb and was nearly dead this morning. Didn’t think I could save him but he’s now doing ok and eating flies. So so cute. I love ❤️ bats #batsofinstagram #wildliferescue #pipistrellebat #batrescue #animalsofinstagram #savingwildlife

We work in synchro in the shows which take lots of rehearsal and timing that each rider knows exactly when to get into the trick and out again. For years trick riders have just gone in a straight line across an arena but it limits the rider to one trick and doesn’t give the audience a close up view of the horses and riders going past them closer. Plus the shows aren’t progressing. Yes it’s more effort to choreograph a show where timing and exactness is crucial but with ours shows we think about the audience and entertaining them NOT about us just showing off our skills for our kicks and benefit. Shows should be written for the audience and not for the riders ego. So understanding what makes a good show takes more than being able to perform a trick just because you want to without thinking what the audience sees and understands. Having worked on the stage for 44 years now understanding performance is as, if not more, important that just showing off because you can. #showtime #trickriding #trickrider #stunthorse
