My wife and I have seen them perform every year since we moved back to Florida in 2001.
Their 'winter' training facility is in Manatee county a few miles nothwest of Sarasota FL. near Lakewood ranch (about 40 miles south from my home) and they hold twice a week 'practice', or training performances that are open to the public. Usually every Thursday & Friday. They have an outdoor grandstand that seats about 1,500 guests and it's nearly always full.
These are absolutely the most magnifcent and talented equines that ever walked the face of the planet!
You're right, if folks have never seen them, they should make every effort to do so.
And we've got old 'Blood & Guts" Patton to thank for them!
