Valitar made its world premier at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego, California, in November 2012. Its producers say the show was the culmination of several years of dreaming and planning.
Mark and Tatyana Remley says that it is a dream come true to see all of their planning come to realization in the live spectacle that is Valitar. The show, directed by acclaimed horse trainer and performer Sylvia Zerbini, is billed as a celebration of the horse and human relationship.

The Remleys had nothing but praise for the abilities of director Zerbini, who they credit with bringing their vision of Valitar to life. "We want Valitar to tell the story of the powerful connection between horses and humanity," said producer Mark Remley, "and we decided the most effective way to portray that story was to combine daring trapeze routines with heart-stopping thrill riding."

The Remleys said that the stunts seen in Valitar were something that had never been done before. They were developed by Sylvia Zerbini, who has built a career on her spellbinding performances with Arabian horses. She is known for her own performances of orchestrating up to nine Arabians at a time, all of them directed by only her body position.

The Remleys said they were proud of the production, and in the days and weeks leading up to its premier were excited to unveil their masterpiece to the public. Valitar combined trick riding with acrobatics in a new way. Sylvia Zerbini rehearsed horses and performers to keep them sharp and healthy. It was her job to make sure each performer got adequate rest and attention in between every rehearsal. "Without healthy performers and horses," Mark Remley says, "Valitar
cannot exist, so it is our job to make sure everyone stays in shape."

Mark and Tatyana Remley praised the ability of director Sylvia Zerbini to bring their vision for Valitar to life. Sylvia Zerbini worked with the show's horses, trapeze artists, trainers, and crew to bring together each piece of Valitar and form a single production. With her extensive credentials, Sylvia Zerbini was confident from the beginning that Valitar would be an impressive production of intricate routines and risky stunts.

After months of rehearsal, the Remleys were excited to debut their fresh take on traditional trick riding shows.
