For those that don’t know ( I didn’t ) horse trotting is a race whereby the jockey is pulled in a light weight two wheeled cart, called a sulky. The horse is required to trot naturally, meaning that the horse is moving its legs in diagonal pairs - ie, left front leg and right hind leg forward at the same time and vice versa. The horse is disqualified if it breaks this order and pace. It's called trotting, all though the speed they were seemed incredibly faster, the jokey sits so low to the ground and is at great risk of injury. It's a race of mental and physical stamina for both the jockey and horse.

I had the pleasure of meeting the woman behind the scenes and was eager to ask her all about this wonderful event, Ariadna Vilalt ( friends call her Ari ), is the force behind Hats & Horses who bought this extravaganza to Mallorca!
