Summary: Valitar is the acrobatic show featuring stunts performed by both rider and horse. These acrobatic feats are extremely challenging on their own, but being able to successfully perform them on horseback is something else entirely.
Location: San Diego, California
Valitar was an amazing display of acrobatics performed by both human and horse. The show was a testament to the possibilities that can arise from putting together the skills of both humans and animals
The show Valitar was a dramatic display of the human and horse relationship that has been developing over thousands of years. Mark Remley and his wife, Tatyana, produced the show, which debuted in San Diego, California in November of 2012. Mark Remley and his wife, Tatyana, spent several years planning and developing their dream to make a show worthy of being the pioneer for this human-horse connection before finally implementing it into reality. The show featured a cast of professional and expert riders with performers from all over the globe. Not only did the riders have to be excellent acrobats, but they also had to be excellent riders. Being able to do both is in the professional realm is something else entirely.
Valitar was the dream of Mark Remley and his wife, Tatyana. They recruited some of the best acrobats and show horses in the show business industry and put them together to create dazzling feats of acrobatics. The show itself was directed by Sylvia Zebrini, who was able to turn Mark Remley’s vision into an incredible display of grace, power, and speed. With plans to take Valitar to audiences around the country, Mark Remley was amazed at the abilities of both horse and rider. The show itself has been compared to the popular acrobatic performance called Cirque du Soleil, except, of course, on horseback.
During the spectacle that is Valitar, the professional riders have to maintain a high level of physical strength. Guiding the horse through each act while performing tricks themselves, requires frequent and rigorous training on the part of the rider. In addition to the riders, the horses had to be in top physical condition and extremely healthy.
During Valitar, this was immensely important and the reason why a partnership with the Helen Woodward Animal Center was necessary. Mark and his wife contributed some of the proceeds from the show to the animal center in order to help animals in the San Diego area.
