Welcome to Fiesta of the Spanish Horse

A success in raising awareness and funds for Cancer Research

CELEBRATING 10th YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Fiesta of The Spanish Horse is a 501 (C) 3 California Non Profit Organization dedicated to raise much needed funds for an exceptional cause - finding a cure for Cancer. It also plays an important role in integrating communities by honoring horses and people steeped in rich tradition.

Fiesta of The Spanish Horse is held each spring at Los Angeles Equestrian Center. It is a four-day event that features multi-breed competitions and an "Extravaganza" show performed on Saturday evening. Performances demonstrate the agility of the Paso Finos, Andalusians, Lusitanos, Peruvian Horses, Aztecas, Hispano-Arabe, Mangalarga Marchadors  and other high-stepping Spanish bred horses.

The days of equine entertainment includes Latin, Mariachi, Flamenco, Folklorico dancing and music. The event is filled with a variety of vendors and authentic Spanish food.

 The "Extravaganza" show -the main event, is an evening that features an entertaining and educational multi-cultural spectacular experience - celebrating the heritage and historical impact of the Spanish Horse. The evening performance also features a “Parade of Cancer Survivors,” which is the heart of the “Fiesta of the Spanish Horse.”

Fiesta of The Spanish Horse is a charitable enterprise committed to raise funds for Cancer Research. Each year, proceeds from the event go to benefit cancer research programs of:

Proven success

In Fiesta 2007 there were over 350 Horses entered in the Multi Day Horse Show and another year of a sell out crowd of almost 4000 attendees. (Click here for Robert Waddle's Fiesta Photos)

During the Extravaganza event last year in the Los Angeles Equestrian Center Equidome - a Special Award was given to Mr. Art Gaytan,  who opened the door to so many of us involved with the Andalusian, Lusitano, and P.R.E. Horses by the way of Exhibitions.

A special tribute was made to Betsy Mote whose untimely passing in a tragic automobile accident just 3 weeks before Fiesta caused her to miss the 2007 Fiesta. Betsy Mote, a supporter and exhibitor, was a part of Fiesta from the beginning, having won a battle against cancer.

We are excited to be able to have a fantastic horse event from which we can help raise funds for our recipients.

2008 event was another proven achievement

- with over 300 horses and 4500 attendees

we want to extend a heartfelt
