Safety guidelines
Dear visitor, dear guests
Please note that horses are living beings (flight animals). Behave calmly and keep your distance from the procession for your own safety to avoid accidents. As a sign of your respect for our tradition, it would be nice if you show restraint and silence when the Easter riders procession passes by.
