JEREZ HORSES


Since ancient times, alongside Sherry and Flamenco, the horse has been one of the strongest symbols of Jerez. A period of great importance in this long tradition was in the 15th century when the Carthusian monks brought the world famous Carthusian horse to Jerez. Today there are a staggering number of equestrian events in which this noble creature can be seen. The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art and the Yeguada La Cartuja; Hierro del Bocado, have weekly shows. There is also the annual Horse Fair and many equestrian events forming part of the Harvest Festival.
