04. Moorish Cavalrymen Buy

Two Moors from Alcoy, astride their hobby horses. On the left, we have an old soldier who must be in his eighties, and on the right, his grandson.
One wonders how many Moros y Cristianos parades the old man has seen. For how long has he ridden around on his pink plastic horse? Perhaps he used to ride a wooden one, or is the idea as new as the material?

This link will take you to a photo of a whole band of "Moros" riding Hobby Horses.
