fly along the water
An annual Village Festival where the feet of the horses in the sea are "washed". The villages on the west side of the island ' Schouwen-Duiveland ' all have their own Straô celebration. Eight weeks before Easter is the first village Renesse's turn. The week after, then follows Burgh-haamstede, Noordwelle, Scharendijke, ellemeet and last Serooskerke. A number of Saturdays in a row is the Straô Festival on the Kop van Schouwen.
Although this party a very local issue is increasingly participated by visitors (with their horses) from afar, even from abroad. An important contribution to the sometimes very large group of horses is provided by a number of enthusiastic drivers of real Zeeland workhorses.
These huge animals that can weigh up to 1000 kg give the straô an authentic look.
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo,
maybe for your faves and comments, I appreciate that very much!
