Equestrian Services, LLC Partners with Frédéric Pignon and Magali Delgado

Equestrian Spectacle Stars to Launch Equestrian Services Entertainment Division

(Charlottesville, VA, September 17, 2009) – Equestrian Services, LLC announced today an exclusive strategic alliance with Frdric Pignon and Magali Delgado to provide equestrian entertainment to resorts and casinos worldwide.

With the addition of an entertainment division, Equestrian Services enhances their equestrian program offerings, providing high-quality equestrian entertainment to clients through the new partnership. Equestrian Services will provide feasibility, planning, and design interface with project architects, while Frédéric and Magali will create the spectacles.

"Partnering with Equestrian Services was a natural fit for us, as we came quickly to understand we share a common philosophy about honoring and respecting the horse first and foremost, while creating magic through performance that can touch the human heart," said Frédéric Pignon. The European “horse whisperer,” Pignon’s work with stallions at liberty (completely loose) is unique in the world. The spectacular performances he and his wife Magali achieve spring from a training philosophy based on patience, love, and total respect for the horse.

“We’re thrilled to announce this exciting partnership with two of the world’s most highly-respected figures in equestrian entertainment. Every resort property worldwide is looking for a unique edge, a differentiator in the market ... the magic created through a custom-designed equestrian spectacle production will draw people looking for something new and inspiring,” said Jennifer Donovan, principal for Equestrian Services, LLC.

“Currently Frédéric and Magali are busy creating a new production that will tour in Europe initially and then be ready for a permanent home at one very lucky resort destination,” said Donovan.

Since their beginnings in 1993, Frédéric and Magali have sought to explore new artistic territory in horsemanship, developing their originality along the way by fusing elements of dance, painting, music, and set design to create an unique performance experience. Their choreography seeks to reveal the innate expressiveness of the horses and their relationship to humans - an osmosis between the equestrian and art worlds.
