Entertainment on the Hoof as The Lipizzaner Stallions prance into The NEC April 26 and 27.

With only 2,500 in existence worldwide, the Lipizzan remains a rare and pure European breed that has come to symbolise grace, romance and courage.

And the Shuttle/Times and News has tickets to be won for the event.

The show emulates the Spanish Riding School of Vienna and includes the spectacular "Airs Above The Ground" segment, with unbelievable leaps and manoeuvres by these magnificent horses.

The current tour features 12 to 14 stallions performing selected manoeuvres as described above in an exciting presentation.

The conclusion of the performance of The Lipizzaner Stallions is the traditional Grand Quadrille, featuring six to eight Lipizzaner Stallions with their riders performing an intricate ballet, exhibiting manoeuvres through the highest level of dressage.

The Lipizzans prance, march and intricately weave their way across the floor to the music of the Masters in a spectacular ballet of four-footed white dancers.

Harkening back to time when the horse was a symbol of grace and majesty, the Lipizzaner Stallions are truly a great experience to be enjoyed by the entire family.

You do not need to be a horse lover to enjoy "The Equestrian Treat Of The Century!"

Tickets can be purchased in advance from The NEC Box Office on 0870 909 4133 or online

For the chance to win answer the following question:

In the conclusion of the performance how many Lipizzaner Stallions perform in the intricate ballet?
