Carrera de Cinta

On Saturday I went to the carrera de cinta. The event basically consists of grabbing a small metal ring that's tied to a rope. On horseback. You get a small prize from a cute little madrina for every ring you bring back. It went well, with the exception of a few wild horses that almost kicked me in the face. Everyone was so surprised at how fast the gringa can run...

The cohete (for those of you who complained about the video quality from the alborada). 


The madrinas. They have gifts of $1-2 to give for the rings brought back.

Every ring has a number on it that corresponds to a madrina

Sometimes the madrinas get to ride the horses!
