By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The National Agriculture and Trade Show (NATS) is hosting a spectacular Cabalgata (horse parade) on the streets of Belmopan on Saturday, May 31.
Riders took off from the Ministry of Natural Resources Saturday morning, guiding their horses through a scenic route that includes Ring Road, University Drive, Mountain View Drive, and Constitution Drive, before concluding at the showgrounds. With over 100 horses participating, spectators are being delighted by an impressive display of horsemanship.
Hugo Miranda, the National Coordinator for the Rodeo and Livestock Shows and Horse Parades under the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security, and Enterprise, said one of the highlights of the parade is the performance by 15 dancing horses from Guatemala. The sight of these highly trained equines prancing in rhythm captivating the audience. Riders from San Felipe, Benque Viejo del Carmen, Spanish Lookout, and other local communities add to the diversity of this grand procession.
Competitions will bring an extra layer of excitement, as riders vie for prizes in categories such as Best Cowboy, Best Dressed Horse, Best Dancing Horse, and Best Horse Buggy. With thoroughbred and quarter-bred horses on display, the event aims to celebrate the beauty and skill of the riders and horses.
Miranda said the NATS Committee hopes it will become an annual tradition, drawing equestrian enthusiasts from all over the country.
