The people of Malappuram were treated to an exotic and exciting sport on Sunday when dozens of horses galloped along the specially prepared tracks at Kadappady near Calicut University. The equestrian race organised by the Malappuram District Horse Riders (MDHR) and the Kadappady Cultural Movement (KCM) provided a memorable experience for the crowds.
Although the two-day race had begun on Saturday afternoon, the events of the South India Horse Riders Competition heated up on Sunday.
Crowds cheered as each jockey guided his horse with zest and care along the tracks. Speed and rhythm caught the imagination of the people as they enjoyed the clouds of dust raised by the galloping horses.
