Moroccan Horse Fantasia in Marrakech

Happened upon a fantasia in Marrakech. The display goes something like this: the men compete in groups, with each group lining up side-by-side at the starting line. They race quickly in long lines and the goal is to fire your guns simultaneously as you cross the finish line together. It's an exercise in both speed and precision. It's also scary as hell when 20 guns fire at once....a local government official serves as a judge.
