The Amazing Rainforest Experience is a unique animal show where conservation and environmental awareness take center stage. It is a proven scientific fact that our planet’s rainforests are home to over 2/3 of all species, and yet they are being destroyed at a rate of over one acre every second of the day. We live in a world where a new species becomes endangered every day. With these events, conservation of our natural resources is an ever-pressing issue. Some of the most rare and endangered species on our planet are featured in this show.

You will have the opportunity to experience animals rarely seen in captivity, including an Asian Fishing Cat. As our two magnificent Bengal tigers make their appearance and demonstrate their natural grace and beauty, we remind the guests about their endangered status. The mere presence of these magnificent creatures will most certainly inspire your guests.

The Amazing Rainforest Experience is presented by husband and wife team Robert and Christy Mullen. The Mullen’s, true conservationists at heart, strongly believe that education and awareness is vital to the survival of all our planet’s creatures, including us. Robert has been producing educational animal shows for the past 26 years. He is nationally known for producing high quality animal shows that combine both theatrical elements and environmental education. He was the exclusive producer for Phoenix Magic and toured nationally with them for 10 years. For 3 continuous years, he produced 3 separate shows at Jungleland Zoo in Kissimmee, Florida. He is now the head trainer and creative designer for the Amazing Rainforest Experience

Christy, a graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelors degree in Animal Biology, has almost literally grown up on the back of a horse. She has been training horses for 10 years in all disciplines from Huntseat to Western to Dressage, even retraining racehorses to be pleasure horses. Christy has 8 years experience in many fields of veterinary medicine, including small animal, large animal and exotic animal/wildlife medicine. Christy brings her many years of education and expertise to offer a high standard of health care to our animals.

The Amazing Rainforest Experience includes a large ongoing display throughout the day in addition to three high quality performances at our Asian ruins stage. As patrons enter the Rainforest Experience, our large display tent, the fully thematic display will transport all of their senses to a pristine rainforest. The Rainforest Experience brings guests eye to eye with many rare and endangered creatures. The exhibit is completely landscaped, including running waterfalls, greenery, and the sounds of the rainforest. Our zoo quality caging meets the same high safety standards, for animals and public alike, as any major zoo. Our natural enclosures are designed not only to provide mental and physical stimulation for our animals, but to provide your guests with an entertaining and educational experience. Our display is our backstage area open to the public, where they can view the animals in their “off time” when they are not performing.

Our stage show, The Amazing Rainforest Experience, takes guests to old Asian ruins, where they are met by a beautiful princess who narrates the show from the back of an Appendix horse, demonstrating unique and superb equestrian skills. The show will entertain and educate your guests about the amazing animals we share this planet with. The ever changing cast of animals in this show is unique to each performance, including parrots, monkeys, lemurs, tigers, cougars, foxes, coati mundi, and our Asian Fishing cat. They all demonstrate their natural abilities and unique personalities, while their trainers share unique and interesting facts about them. As animals and trainers interact, the love that is present can be felt by the audience throughout the entire show.

Our training methods are based entirely upon positive reinforcement and are evident through the love and admiration that we share with these animals we are priviledged to have as a part of our lives. We present three shows daily. Our cast of animals from the smallest to the largest will keep the audience on the edge of their seats during the entire 30 minute show. Our unique nighttime performances are fully illuminated by computer controlled theatrical lighting to create a truly magical experience. Each performance is concluded with a chance for each and every audience member to visit with our majestic horse Magic, as well as our trainers.

The Amazing Rainforest Experience is extremely media friendly, always generating a lot of media attention and has great sponsorship potential. Robert and Christy have conducted over a hundred TV, radio, and newspaper interviews. They are both always available to do both onsite and offsite media with or without the animals. The Amazing Rainforest Experience is recognized and sanctioned by the United States Department of Agriculture as well as the Fish and Wildlife Department.

CHRISTY, ON HER BEAUTIFUL "APPENDIX" HORSE, VISITS WITH THE AUDIENCE AFTER THE SHOW. RE: The American Appendix Horse Association has established itself for the recognition for the Thoroughbred & Quarter Horse cross-mix.  These bloodlines make up the horse which has come to be known as the Appendix Horse.A lot of people are under the misunderstanding that the Thoroughbred horse does not have a good mind and is hot headed and hard to control. They also believe that it is the Quarter horse that gives the cross its good mind and attitude  but, it is all in the breeding of the Thoroughbred or Quarter horse individual  that you choose to breed.
