The eight day wedding that I wrote about in one of my last posts concluded last week with Fantasia, pictured above. In this event, horsemen line up at one end of an open field, wait for a period, then they get the horses to rise up on their back legs in unison. Next, they charge down the field and fire their rifles together. This is often done in several waves which follow each other. To his chagrin, if a rider misfires noticeably late or early, they tease him by making him dismount and walk his horse back. In all, this is repeated for several hours.
