Bo Derek Coming to Del Mar...

Bo Derek, actress and talented horsewoman, our celebrity Mistress of Ceremonies for the 2012 show, will bring dazzle and glamour to an already star-studded evening.

Ramon Becerra’s dramatic liberty act magnificently illustrating the history of man and horse through a graceful performance, including elegant and difficult maneuvers.  Ramon will also dazzle us with the highest levels of classical dressage with the smallest of horse in Aires Above the Ground with miniature horses.

Jennifer Welch and the Riata Ranch Cowboy Girls will perform their world famous, high speed trick riding.

The Dog and Pony Show, a satirical comedy routine will have the audience rolling in the aisles as they watch Luciano Aguilar and Roman poke fun at horse and dog whisperers.

A salute from south of the border featuring trick ropers, escaramuza riders, Folklorico dancers and the incredible voice of talented, young Paquito Herrara.

The only woman ever to win the National Reining Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity, Sandy Collier, will take reining one step further with dizzying spins, slides, and an array of fast moves, all choreographed to music.

After the show, spectators will have a chance to meet some of the performers and get autographs and photos. This will be a Night of the Horse to remember!
