[quote=Anonymous]Spain is so great for horse things. Not a horse person myself, although I do have some Valverde boots because who doesn't like treating themselves to some fine leather goods?

There is such a lot of horse culture in rural Andalucia. You might even end up adding a traje de corto to your equestrian wardrobe. El Rocío has sand streets, to me it looks like it could be a western movie set, and a lot of wild horses. They have a Saca de las Yeguas like the Assateague Pony Swim. Jerez, of course, has the horse ballet. Horse racing on the beaches of San Lucar de Barrameda.

Even daily life has a lot of horses. I spend some quality time in a small pueblo in rural Andalucia where people still ride horses to the central plaza, tie them up, and go into the cafeteria for a drink. (Also a lot of burro culture although nobody seems to ride them, they just carry things for old farmers). Every small town festival has people on horseback—Cruces de Mayo, the romerías, the ferias, the pilgrimage to El Rocío. As the day wears on, a lot of drunk people on horseback (not such a great combo with the evening fireworks.)

Anyway you probably know all this already. Thanks for the opportunity to reminisce while waiting for the EU borders to reopen to all. One question, do you know why the women ride sidesaddle at the festivals? It seems pretty uncomfortable.
