Summary[edit]

Description
English: Fantasia is a traditional equestrian art form that originated in the nomadic cultures of North Africa, particularly in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. It involves a horse race where the riders wear colorful traditional costumes and hold black powder rifles.

At the start of the race, the riders line up their horses and charge together in a straight line towards a finish line. As they reach the finish line, the riders simultaneously fire their rifles into the air to produce a spectacular smoke and sound effect, marking the end of the race.

Fantasia is considered a national sport in the countries where it is practiced and is often showcased during festivals, religious celebrations, and competitions. It is also appreciated for its artistic and cultural aspects, as well as for the skill and coordination of the riders and horses involved in the performance.
Français : La fantasia est une forme d'art équestre traditionnel qui trouve ses origines dans les cultures nomades de l'Afrique du Nord, en particulier au Maroc, en Algérie et en Tunisie. La fantasia implique une course à cheval où les cavaliers portent des costumes traditionnels colorés et tiennent des fusils à poudre noire.

Au début de la course, les cavaliers alignent leurs chevaux et chargent ensemble en ligne droite vers une ligne d'arrivée. Au moment où ils atteignent la ligne d'arrivée, les cavaliers tirent simultanément leur fusil en l'air pour produire un bruit de détonation spectaculaire et fumant, qui marque la fin de la course.

La fantasia est considérée comme un sport national dans les pays où elle est pratiquée et est souvent présentée lors de festivals, de célébrations religieuses et de compétitions. Elle est également appréciée pour ses aspects artistiques et culturels, ainsi que pour l'habileté et la coordination des cavaliers et des chevaux impliqués dans la performance.
