The Dancing Horses Theatre









This past Friday we checked out The Dancing Horses Theatre in Delavan, WI.  Delavan is just past Lake Geneva, such a pretty little area!  The theatre property is pretty amazing as it also includes vast acreage for a wide assortment of animals.  We first took in the 75 minute show that kicks off with the owner, Dana Montana, giving a little speech about how her love of horses began.  She's an interesting lady...ex Playboy Bunny, horse lover, owner of The Sugar Shack and a club in Chicago!  The show is kind of Vegas-y, with pretty girls in glitzy costumes and beautiful horses trained to perform neat tricks to music.  This was followed by a bird show in another building and then a back stage tour of the horse stables and a demonstration of the training techniques.  Margaux LOVED the petting zoo!  It is by far the best we have ever visited.  The animals are so well cared for and you are free to roam about without the staff lurking around nervously watching your every move like so many others that we have visited.  We are thrilled at how much Margaux loves animals...she was all about those little goats! They even offer camel rides, but MVP was WAY too tired to do that on this visit!  I have to add that as per usual, MVP cozied up to another older lady who was nice to her.  This woman was sitting next to us during the show and the next thing we know, Margaux is snuggled into her lap and calling her "Grandma"!  Cute.
