The All-Steps Formation Riding Summer Gala Show
Event Details
We are thrilled to invite you and your horsey friends to join us for a Summer Gala Show hosted by All-Steps Formation Riding at Aintree International Equestrian . If you haven’t had the pleasure of attending an All-Steps show before, get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with horses, music, dancing, delicious food and drink.
Theme: An Equestrian Variety Show for the whole family
The show is going to be jam packed with acts and performers from our home county of Devon, and further afield. We’ve got all sorts of horses performing from Shetlands to Friesians and everything in between. Our aim is to promote inclusivity in the equestrian world and show that there’s something for everyone to enjoy. So if you want a variety show that celebrates the diverse nature of the beast we all love, join us for an evening of family entertainment. There’s even a bar for Dad to enjoy!
Dates and Schedule
The show will take place on the 30th August from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, at Aintree International Equestrian in Liverpool. Doors will open at 7:00 pm, giving you time to enjoy some delicious food and grab a drink before the show starts.
Meet & Greet
To add to the excitement, there will be a meet and greet after the final parade, allowing you to have your picture taken with your favourite horse (we know it will be Dexter, as he always steals the show).
Ticket Information
The regular ticket prices will be £25 for adults and £15 for kids and carers.
Don’t miss out on this fantastic event! Join us for a memorable evening of equestrian entertainment and celebration.
We look forward to welcoming you all to the All-Steps Summer Gala Show!

Event Details
We are thrilled to invite you to a unique Master Class hosted by All-Steps Formation Riding in collaboration with the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art. This event promises to be unlike any other!
Join the Master Chief Rider, João Pedro Rodrigues, and some of his fellow riders as they deliver an engaging Master Class that focuses on the training methods for both Low and High School riding. The days will have theoretical and practical sessions each morning and afternoon with the practical sessions demonstrated by riders and their horses from the UK.
João Pedro said “We want to bring our classical training methods to a wider audience in the UK.”
Senga Riches said “You don’t have to have an Iberian Horse to benefit from this workshop, it will be fascinating to all horse owners no matter what breed you have. Come along and be inspired”
The School are not bringing their Lusitano stallions with them this time (although exciting things are being discussed for 2026), the practical elements will be demonstrated by a number of different UK based horse and rider combinations to appeal to a wide range of equestrians.
