Fantasia performance or tborida is a traditional exhibition of horsemanship performed during cultural festivals.
The performance consists of a group of horse riders, all wearing traditional clothes, who charge along a straight path at the same speed so as to form a line, and then at the end of the charge (about two hundred meters) fire into the sky using old muskets or muzzle-loading rifles. The difficulty of the performance is in synchronizing the movement of the horses during acceleration of the charge, and especially in firing the guns simultaneously so that one single shot is heard.
I hope that this inspires t'chiefs cos the horsemen are all peaceful warriors!
