Our favourite night of the Feria de San Isidro in Madrid has to be the one where they fight the bulls on horseback. The skill that these guys exhibit is just amazing. From the parade into the ring to the actual fights, the standard of horsemanship is unbelievable.
Last night was no exception. Joao Moura showed us the classic style and was only let down by the bulls he fought. Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza was awarded an oreja for his second bull. The star of the show though was Andy Cartagena who got a very well deserved two orejas for his second bull and was carried out through the Puerta Grande at the end of the corrida.
Someone in the crowd was obviously well prepared because he came with two live cockrels; one of which he threw to Pablo Hermoss de Mendoza and the other to Andy Cartegena.
