I am a member of the "Associació de carreters i cavallistes d'Andratx" and, as I wasn't taking part this year, I was working in the food & beer huts!!! Therefore this is lovely to see as I missed 90% of it.....

Wow that’s the Spanish version of dressage and I think those horses are pure breed Andalusia very interesting video Steve

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

It was very impressive.

[@nikkybarcelo-faulkes7443]

I must add... all the girls at the beginning of the video haven't actually been riding that long, so they did exceptionally well!

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

They did very well and their parents must be proud of them.

The youngest rider is only 10 years old & was participating in the group of the 4 black Menorcan horses.... she also hasn't been riding that long, maybe 2 1/2 to 3 years. Her uncle (shown also riding 2nd in line) is the one that encouraged her to keep going after a tumble on her fisrt little pony... but between them they grew & were even doing the rearing up & bowing..... When she got her confidence she wanted a Menorcan horse just like her mentor & trainer..... Her mum can hardly bear to watch sometimes, the things she does!! I'm so happy that I live in Andratx & am blessed to be a part of a horsey group with such WONDERFUL & CARING associates... ❤
