The Satin Race has been held since 1529. This type of race belongs to the ancient ritual ceremonies bequeathed to Christianity by ancient civilizations. Originally, horse races were held in Arles on Saturday, the eve of Pentecost and a major fair day. The prize was a green silk scarf with silver bangs.<\/p>\n

The day’s events
\nOld-fashioned ferrades competition
\nAs has always been the practice, the gardians must “cours\u00e9ger” (chase the bull while guiding it), drop it and catch it, on pain of disqualification, between two furrows or lines marked out by the ol, in front of the jury made up of personalities from the world of chaval and bovino. Around ten teams will take part in the competition.
\nHandling competition
\nA particularly spectacular event, thanks to the equestrian skills of our riders and the speed of their horses. Open to all riders.
\nTa\u00efolo race
\nThis race is open to riders of all regions and all breeds. The winner receives a red “ta\u00efolo”.
\nSatin race
\nReserved exclusively for Camargue horses with paper, this race is run bareback (without saddle). The winner receives a gold-embroidered “satin scarf”, a replica of which is on display at the Museon Arlaten.
\nHe will keep it for one year. It will only become his property after three consecutive victories.
