​Equestrian Extravaganza
The horse show Cavalia premiers in Denver

​By Amanda Dumenigo for American Cowboy

The performance is a celebration of the horse and highlights their mysterious allure and grace, power, and speed. A total of 52 highly trained horses and eleven different breeds (from Canada, France, Spain, Portugal, and the U.S.) cavort with each other and a swarm of acrobats, dancers, and aerialists. The 160-foot wide arena allows for unbridled galloping and horseplay, and the intricate maneuvers are often breathtaking. Think: cutting and reigning horses performing at full speed amidst troupes of ballet dancers and cavorting cheerleaders. The whimsical, athletic spirit of Cirque du Soleil is clearly on display.

According to a Swedish online site that sells the shells, they create a soothing microclimate so that nipples soften and are moisturized by breastmilk—which contains lactoferrin—known for its antiviral and antibacterial healing properties. It is advised to air-dry the area prior to applying the shells and to boil them between uses if treating any infection or open sores.​
