If you thought wild horses were only a thing of the Wild West, think again. This Galician rodeo, a round up of the local wild horses to cut short their manes, dates back to the 15th century.

A noble confrontation between man and horse taking place every year on the first weekend of July in Sabucedo (A Estrada municipality, Pontevedra province) in the region of Galicia.

The tradition starts very early in the morning with the church bells ringing very loud. At 6;30 am all the village is awake.
