The Gala of The Royal Horses Featured in The Tampa Tribune!

| Apr 11, 2014

The first time Rene Gasser spotted Javano, he knew the horse was something special. The Andalusian stallion’s beauty, grace and athleticism took his breath away.

“I fell in love with him the moment I saw him,” Gasser said of the 6-year old mare he purchased in 2012 from monks in the Cartuja region of Spain. “And his eyes were so beautiful.”

One of the world’s most iconic horse breeds, Andalusians, also known as the Spanish horse, are admired by equine lovers all over the world. Known for graceful leaps through the air, they have for centuries been a favorite subject of painters and sculptors.

“He’s the most talented horse I’ve ever owned,” Gasser added. “Everyone falls in love with him when they see him. He’s just extraordinary.”

Javano will demonstrate his talents as one of the stars of Gasser’s “Gala of The Royal Horses,” coming Saturday to the Lakeland Center and Sunday to the Forum in Tampa.

It marks the first time Gasser, creator and producer of the Gala, has brought the tour to North America.

Gasser, a seven generation master trainer and rider born in the Swiss town of Schaffhausen, near the banks of the Rhein River, will feature 14 of the most celebrated breeds of horses. In addition to Andalusians, there will be Friesians, Lipizzaners and Arabians.

Oscars 2014: Wolfgang Puck, Wayne Elias talk catering the night’s biggest parties

The care and feeding of celebrities reaches critical mass on Oscar night. Two veteran caterers of the glitziest shindigs on Hollywood’s biggest night revealed some of the ins and outs of the process and, of course, some of what their well-known guests can expect.

Over at the 22nd Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood Park, 1,000 donors will be treated to a more traditional, five-course waiter-served dinner while, yes, they watch the Oscar ceremony on big screens. The menu this year was designed by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. But while someone like that chooses the dishes each year, for a decade running now it’s been up to chef Wayne Elias and his Crumble Catering company to buy, cook and serve all that food.

“It’s my anniversary and nobody else’s,” Elias said, laughing.

On a more serious note, Elias, who also runs the Rockwell Table & Stage restaurant in Los Feliz, added that the event is “far from about me.”

“The unique qualities of the Royal Horses single them out from all other breeds in the Equine world. Their physical beauty & grace, coupled with exceptional courage and nobility make them an object of admiration and a source of inspiration for horse lovers everywhere,” says Gasser.
