The Xunta de Galicia is collaborating in the celebration of the VI Horse Fair of Lourenzá, which will take place this Sunday, October 25th, bringing together enthusiasts and breeders around the equestrian world.

The territorial delegate of the Xunta in Lugo, Alfonso Villares, participated today in the presentation of the fair, organized by the association Cabaleiros de Lourenzá. The event will begin at 9:00 AM and aims to preserve the region's equestrian tradition.
The program includes gait tests, a morphofunctional foal competition, and the Galician Marchador Horse Championship. There will also be trading of equine, bovine, ovine, caprine, and porcine livestock, as well as free pony rides for children.
