The show combined music, equestrian art and stage performance, drawing strong applause from the audience.
Azerbaijan’s Garabagh and Dilbaz horses also attracted particular attention during the event, showcasing the country’s long-standing equestrian traditions. Their presentation, accompanied by national musical elements, was highlighted as a demonstration of Azerbaijan’s cultural heritage on an international stage.
