Foundation Equelia celebrated its second fun day with the horse and carriages, this was for the benefit of ASPANOB (Association for children with cancer in the Balears.)
This year we had numerous horse riders as well as horse and carriages, we left from the restaurant El Picadero in Mahon and rode around Mahon to Es Castell (where we stopped in the square for refreshments) and then passed through Trebaluger to Sant Lluis and finished back at restaurant El Picadero. Here we then had an excellant barbeque prepared and served by volunteers of Foundation Equelia, it was a perfect ending to a brilliant day and all enjoyed the food and drink.
Foundation Equelia would like to thank all of those who took part and helped on the day, especially the El Picadero restaurant and all our collaborators. Well done also to ASPANOB for the excellent work they do for the benefit of the children.
THANK YOU EVERYONE

After the procession the Mayor leads the riders through the streets to greet the crowds, this is then followed by a church service and after the famous ´Jaleo´ This is where the horses ride around the streets and raise up on their hind legs to music by the Band of Es Migjorn Gran and the people touch the horses hearts as a sign of good luck.
