The first National Gallop was held in 2008, and since then it became a popular event filled with local culture, and featuring action packed horse races.

From the organisers:

Just imagine. Heroes’ Square, transformed into a racetrack with 6,200 square meters’ worth of special equine-friendly sand. Grandstands in front of the two museums that flank the square, the biggest screens you’ve ever seen broadcast- ing the action, flags flying – the excitement will be palpable...

And they’re off! Young jockeys, modern-day hussars on horseback, tear around the track. Hooves are pounding, dirt is flying, the crowd is cheering.

There will also be mock horse- back battles, amazing archers shooting arrows on galloping horses...
