The annual fiesta is said to date from the 13th century when the Knights Templar broke a siege. Amid yawns, but with plenty of enthusiasm, they take their time plaiting the mane and tail of their horse. These are the men picked to represent their troupe in the annual fiesta called “Los Caballos del Vino,” usually translated as the Running of the Wine Horses. “For a lot of people the Running of the Wine Horses is one day a year. For me, it’s all 365 days,” says Antonio Torres, as he braids Rociero, a Spanish pure breed.
