In the second part, Maddi Sarasua and Maddalen Arzallus will take care of the story of the day. According to the organizers, in order to avoid the risk of moving to the “folklore” and in order to understand the foundations of the horseback riding well, the villagers have had the collaboration of the experts Antton Luku and Xabier Itzaina.
Aiherra, the window of Navarre in which the horseback riding has been placed, has had the collaboration of several specialists and also of this kind of street theatre. They've had a ride in the village of Makea erreferentzia.Samuel The theater writer Bizkai really liked the shape of the Makea ride, that is, because in his letters he was "short, compact, and xixt". In their words, the archers of the Aiherra horseback riding will interpret “the parody of a given society.”
The playwright Manex Fuchs has also brought his contribution and help to the population of Ayala, he finds it “good” that the people of the town of Fuchsi move and organize horseback riding. However, in the opinion of Fuchs, horse riding must also be able to interpret the “free” space offered by the liberations and the berets and to explain what the “Basque tradition” is.
