Berlin Horse Market


Like all horse markets, the Berlin Horse Market has strict rules. Before the event begins every participant has to decide whether he wants to take part either as a mare or as a stallion. It is not possible to change roles once the market begins! On the day of the fair, the mares arrive before the stallions. The naked mares have their hands bound and are blindfolded. Then the stallions appear and can fully inspect the shackled mares. When a stallion has decided on a mare, he leads the mare untied to a covering place of their leisure. When the stallion has finished covering the mare, this mare is then available for covering by other stallions.
