9-7-12 τριήμερο φεστιβάλ
Rapa das Bestas στην Ισπανία (three-day festival held in the village of San Lorenzo de Sabucedo) έχει παράδοση 400 χρόνων και αρχίζει το πρώτο Σαββατοκύριακο
του Ιουλίου
αφορά την πάλη ανθρώπων με τα άγρια άλογα που προέρχονται από τα βουνά της Γαλικίας- βρίσκεται στη βορειοδυτική περιοχή της Ισπανίας- στη διάρκεια της πάλης οι Aloitadores (ομάδα τριών ατόμων) κόβουν τη χαίτη και την ουρά των αγρίων αλόγων.
Τα άλογα στρεσαρισμένα επιτίθενται το ένα στο άλλο και δαγκώνονται άσχημα μεταξύ τους.
9-7-12 Is this the ultimate wrestling contest? The incredible battle of strength between wild horses and manBy Paul Milligan
The annual Rapa das Bestas festival in Spain is not for the faint-hearted, as it pits man against horse in an incredible wrestling match.
The 400-year old tradition of Rapa das Bestas, which translates as ‘cropping the beasts’, sees locals attempt to wrestle wild horses to the ground, before cropping their manes.
The horses come from the mountains of Galicia, in the northwestern region of Spain, and are rounded up so that the locals can clip their manes and tails and brand the foals.
The most famous event is the three-day festival held in the village of San Lorenzo de Sabucedo, where the use of nothing but hands, no tools or ropes, is permitted.
The festival has been condemned by animal rights groups.
It takes three men (known as ‘aloitadores’) to manage each horse: One who gets on the horse's back; another who takes hold of the neck; and a third to take the tail.

festival in Spain called 'Rapa das bestas'
The festival sees locals from northern Spain wrestle wild horses to the ground in order to cut their manes
The aloitadores go in packs of three - one who gets on the horse's back, another who takes hold of the neck, and a third to take the tail
The dangerous nature of the event is added to as wild horses often turn on each other and attack, with no regard for who is nearby
