Parade of the Horses this Sunday
I was beginning to think that we were going to have a weekend without a Parade – Whew I need not worry about being without a weekend Parade. We will try to take some pictures and put them up here after the weekend.
Once a year the horse owners in the area parade their horses up Leather Street. Many of the riders are in full regalia, and there are some beautiful Passafino, Arabian and other horses.
The riders gather at Plaza del Sol at 9 AM, and parade up Leather Street around 10:00 to 10:30 [subject to Ecuadorian time!] on their way to the Bull Ring outside of town. It is an interesting spectacle.
The afternoon is filled with amateur bull fighting (they don’t kill the bulls) and other activities.
cool, can’t wait to see the pics
Sunday we will be taking pics!!
interested to see any photos of this one.
Some friends recently returned from Cotacatchi with pictures of an event in June showing folks with pointed hats and clubs mixing it up a bit?
You have friends in Cotacachi? 🙂
