The Horseshoe Point Resort and Country Club arranged a
special Songkran event for its guests and visitors at its show arena on
April 9.
The
Carrousel show was particularly well received.
“The show was fabulous,” said Jate Sopitpongsathorn,
general manager. “It consisted of a series of five forms of classic riding
- Solo, Pas de Deux, Aswin, Carrousel, and Electric Horse - which was
awesome and rare.”
The opening show, Solo, was conducted by Chanya (Cherry)
Srifeungfung, former national rider. She was great at controlling her horse.
The next was Pas de Deux by Chainarin and Chaikiri Srifeungfung, owners of
Horseshoe Point. Two horses, Napoleon and Mirage, were controlled to perform
the same actions by mirroring each other.
The third event was Aswin, named after the hero of the
event. Aswin is a young horse, both stubborn and keen. He performed many
amazing stunts, like standing on a round table on 2 hooves and then getting
back onto the ground. This was a real treat for the children who attended
the show.
The next item was Electric Horse. The performing horses
were lit up with electric lights which made them glow in the dark. The last
event was called Carrousel. Six horses and their riders danced as if they
were a carrousel.
At the close of the show, all the performers gathered with their horses
to thank the audience who applauded them with loud clapping and enthusiastic
compliments.

Berris, playing “Danny Boy” on the wood saw, admitted that maybe
slightly quirky behaviour was helpful for his line of business.
