The riders will take part in a variety of equestrian events but spectators are very welcome to come along, mix and mingle, and support the day.

The days starts at 10.00 with riding classes , kindly sponsored by Villas &Vacations, Lda, who are supplying beautiful rosettes in blue and yellow. Local businesses are supporting the event by offering some lovely voucher prizes in addition to the rosettes.

During the lunch break you can, if you wish, wear your traditional Easter bonnet (on foot) – ideal for all ages from tiny tots to grannies. Catering will be in the capable hands of Gisela with her team from Algarve Fine Foods, and Wines&Co will introduce you to a selection of Portuguese wines. O Croissant Marafade will tempt you with their mouth watering mini croissants and Tomás from Apicultura – Algarve will bring his honey for you to try.

After lunch, Fancy Dress on horseback is always popular (even the horse sometimes gets dressed up!). The afternoon events will entertain with an Obstacle Course, which includes some optional jumps, followed by Musical Chairs.

The Almancil association Doina is coordinating the support for the Ukrainians and the Vicentina ladies will distribute the Easter Eggs to children in need in Almancil.
