Zippos Circus comes crashing into the twenty-first century with a brand new show HORSEPOWER, which mixes the stunning horsepower of three completely new equestrian acts with the modern raw horsepower of roaring motorbikes.
We are delighted to welcome the world's most famous equestrian presenter Yasmine Smart, grand-daughter of the legendary Billy Smart. Yasmine will celebrate her return to the ring with a new act on her new horse, five year old Andalusian stallion Diamond. Yasmine will also perform her world renowned liberty act with four stunning Palominos -- and the smallest horse in the UK.
The Globe Of Death is a death defying act where three motorbikes will ride at over 70mph in a metal globe, and stunning world class American high trapeze artiste Kimberley will present her swinging trapeze act -- with no net or safety device!
HORSEPOWER boasts a cast of twenty plus performers all with horsepower on their mind including: the fire juggler on a Harley Davidson, the Russian Big Bike act, the traditional Argentinean Gaucho Bolas dance, acrobats, clowns, trapeze, ropes - and all held together by the consummate Ring Master and much loved Norman Barrett MBE.

Bits can be a psychological aid in that they can alert the horse of something other than their base needs of foraging, flight and fight etc. These horses are not connected in anyway by their bits so therefore have no unnatural pressure being exerted upon their mouths and it has also been proven that horses like and enjoy having something in their mouths to mouth on which makes them feel contented.

Why do they bother with bits, it would be easier to feed them treats without them and they don't need them for the show. Halters would work better.
