that to 40 or gunpowder game is one of the most popular festivals in morocco the equestrian competition is a reenactment of a 2000 year old war time technique used by the ferber warriors cut the spectacular cavalry charge has been carried out exclusively by manhood. until now today women are challenging traditional boundaries taking part in the fantasia festivals get up. against their own kind of i feel very strong whenever i don't see in daily life i feel completely normal just like any other woman but as a woman participating and if i'm tasered despite the difficulties we have as a women's team i just feel strong and clearly. going to.

play. off an up and be heads an all female writing troupe it's one of only 13 female teams in the country which has more than $5000.00 men's groups. the women are rehearsing for an upcoming fantasia ahead. they will be the only women's team among $46.00 at the event. i hope. what the equestrians have to focus on in this sport is not just the interaction of the horses riders and their movements but the rifles too. often as team is not get properly synchronized some of the women are riding with the group for the 1st time

. when i say sit you can do you ahead the who says have to be in line now again and you just did it. look sit. then the rifle then the greeting. card op our wants are writers to be especially well prepared for the upcoming fantasia. and. the young women want to prove that they can perform the just as well as the men. 2nd here can you can call in now the biggest challenge is just being accepted and then there are people who don't want women to participate and look on what they think that goes oh she stayed home and take care of household chores instead of riding horses because that's a man's things that were. at all make that that's not true on the contrary the

prophet even recommended writing he said teach your children he did not say teach the boys he said children are good with both boys and girls as a field and that's what it. offers mother to rehab and she had often accompanies her daughter to training sessions and competitions yeah. ok i'll get. support from her family is very important for 25 year old off. and. kids any kind of normal can scan but i won't lie and at 1st i didn't like the sport at all in the past it wouldn't have been possible either and has women used to be frustrated as had he didn't have many rides there were many things women want allowed to do they were supposed to be satisfied with having children and doing the housework and that

was all they could do this had to. learn to write from her father dead meat and be. in morocco it's traditional to pass on the art of fantasia writing from generation to generation. opposite bother himself still writes in a troop. of them a lot i think. of him as a. afra went to fantasia's with me when she was a little child. she wanted to ride and so i put her on a horse and she rode 400 metres of them you can see them and then she wanted to ride on her own. she's been addicted to it ever since. we had them going to be alone she rode as a child yes and later she became a troop leader. she found other women and then got a hold of a tent one day i told her that this hobby is not a good idea but she said it was

a mind vault so what could i do i can't stop her anymore. meanwhile he's grown proud of his daughter's achievements. so when they do that nowadays you often see women writing in a fantasia. and with recently i got a call from an organizer in a small village in one of effort to participate with her troop with a good 1st visitors found it very strange to see women writing one. and now that's changed over a little bit in fact people are often more interested in watching when a woman's team is writing with the dog while you were. robots the moroccan capital. the bazaar in the old town is a visible reflection of the country today a mixture of modern vibrancy and traditionalism. opera and her friend

want to belong to a new generation of a manse a paid moroccan women. in. 2004 saw a fundamental boost to women's rights when the code of family laws the modahl when i was reform. since then the country has been experiencing an era of social change . the new laws strengthened equality in marriage and liberated women from their husbands of legal authority. in the same year a fantasia festival accepted the 1st all female team. son and was stosh has been part of operas team for more than 5 years and is one of her closest friends. unlike off a 25 year old does not enjoy the support of her parents. no one in her family has

ever owned or written a horse. sana found her way to the sport not through family. yes but thanks to offer. i'm now on my way from a batch to city custom to meet africa. above a meeting up in how to pay everything for the upcoming fantaisie and. work of the think it requires a lot of effort to keep travelling back in full control void being told off by my family because of my hobby. and theirs. and that's when i 1st started writing i kept it a secret and that's how. we're going to come out of history i would go to training up to spear but i tell my parents i had classes. that. can go out it was only once i feel confident in the cool soon you have to write that i told them about it's a close call and the kind of work. it was really hard for them to accept.

it. but they've started to get used to the idea so it'll get better because they realise how much i love in the fantasia i don't look at the house. after sun up arrives and see the concept of the place where are our crew up to the to pay a visit to a local tailor. makes their traditional costumes for the upcoming fantaisie or. attempt to feel this is your outfit something very special just to say i love it the pan shouldn't be too tight so i can get on the who's easily how long will it take them on top of the national. team going to be very soon i think. even then he invests i have a lot of outfits months a lot and exactly vesey this is what i plan to wear and 1st and tasia.

i have many other houses and this committee for each friend haitian i go to the tailor and have a new custom made one to people have never seen me when numbers were in and out and indeed that's very important for me sort of when the nest and. the costumes are called jalopy us long opulent robes with hoods that are traditionally worn in the magreb region of northern africa historically these garments were made for nobility. only later did the jalopy become popular clothing for the general public. and it took time for it to become acceptable attire for women as well. to limit god no rocking women have come a long way and reach levels that we wanted them to reach not that oregon women can now write who says in this traditional outfit this is truly a source of pride for our country she has to be. i.

pray for us last is gloomy once everything is ready. cried. class family run a farm a few kilometers outside the box. it's also a place where she and her fellow writers can meet up without being disturbed. it's a welcome retreat for the new teen. pop pop founded her 1st troupe in 2012 called the new era horse women's association. it also served to bring together like minded women. and that's a few years ago i filmed a team and trained young women from my town full fantasia kind of in one after another the women got married to the group became smaller and things changed it was really hard because most of the men would not allow their wives to ride anymore but

they via facebook and instagram i found other women and built my current time when there's a fantasia coming up i call them and they say yes you. will soon find out whether after his new team is ready for the big shout in a few hours the women will be setting off for the fantasia for santa however the dream could be over she's had a cold for a few days now and feels weak and tired and i don't know if i can be in the show at least i could be your notice. if any of you need bandages she has almost all flowers even without them i hope no one falls off the air no they. don't she says. we'll sun up be able to ride. the more women who take part the more impressive their performance.

and that's. good and those we have a lot of things to do today. everyone is responsible for one time. first the horses need to be fed and washed. pick up the tent. i want to slow down my. shame and solder already knew when they met 3 years ago. they both grew up with a passion for horses and the fantasia sport. but neither of them can afford to own a horse but berber breeds that are used in the fantaisie i do not come cheap in morocco. and say you know my life i just feel good in that company like a child that its relationship with its mother i didn't know. this but it was done

for me in the end it. there are many problems in situations in life that make me straight in my case and i was there every bit as soon as i see who else will touch when i come down quickly. gets its i no longer feel straight still think that things it's great my. hands of jets. horses have served humans for more than 4000 years and are one of the oldest breeds of the animals. these horses have always been closely linked to the berber tribes who bred them. during the middle ages and the renaissance they were used as war horses. in the mean time more members of the team have arrived at the farm. and they're ready for the trip

to the fantasia. of the next me a lot of people don't want us to participate they try to stop us and that for them a woman is not supposed to be in a riding arena. their society is changing but since we started writing it hasn't changed enough as has just now there are always people who criticize us some women have given female riding a bad reputation 3 directions so our we would like to change that is specially since my human nature we want to make a good impression you are so that society except since no humans rajen becomes a matter. of the moon the idea of this. goes to a lot of trouble for her hobby and. it's only with the help of her parents and her job in the family's construction company that she can afford to finance the sport

for herself and other women. know her look at that horse he's happy. but look ahead may even think he feels just like me do. i look at is. one. thing. but after an hour. dr the women arrive at the festival grounds and close to casa blanca. the preparations for the equestrian extravaganza are in full swing.

less than 24 hours from now the women will be saddled up and ready to ride. never seen a hi how are you was your journey ok yet not when i know you can go into the tent. as usual i have to move ahead. as it exists in that chamber if you still have your shoes on bring the settle into the tent but you can put it in the kitchen then off . i would still say. we're not clear let's get another smell. does everyone know which gun is this it's important. to for anybody got a pen then we can write the names on it happening and this one is definitely your

own person and what should i write. out how much are they to me. ok. most of the lucky corner was checking for her like the other team captains i have a lot of work to do when the freddy said i need to make sure everything is set up from the mrs to the guns and. ben dixon to him and the crew bessie and of them are going to the other women just have to come to my place get to the 1st of all and everything is basically ready then said. to me. as a woman you have to work hard to get recognition of good and sure you have to be strong on my patients and i'm courageously not a fat lot and i don't let what people say bother me. in. any. image you know this is the 1st year a women's team is competing. rather not holly has been organizing this fantasia for

many years now he ensures that the event goes smoothly. and the best. then most. people saw another person maybe it's huge i myself have 2 daughters and i ride with them. when they're between 6 and 10 years old they were already writing and tastiest with the psni. once we were even invited to france to play observed many leaders teach their daughters to ride i did you name it and the leisure for that they do it because they love their daughters episode but he didn't have one but it's now the time for pima groups to join us. i know there are 35000 men and only 700 women in the sport. and they have allowed this it's much harder for women they need the support of a father or brother but most of us. only then can make it how to cook

their food. in the most of the if this support is missing it's still very difficult for women today even talking about the people on the boat what amanda seales the beef is. before the event begins all the team leaders meet to set the rules for the various runs. this is not new for off but she doesn't know anyone here and for most of the man female writers are still in on a custom site at the fantasia. you made of course. you could see if my welcome sister after his participation said no if i could have been a little bit more. i can imagine that it's not easy for a woman to attend. one of the it would look like a general rule of everybody see that but i consider it an honor for the other competitors in the fantaisie oh and for our whole country she should come to the other had the i'd had that they're mad not so i want to congratulate and thank her

and not what i don't have come out. and if we're going to come out i would have thought that was kind of very. proud to be the only woman among 40 male leaders rising. to god so they respect and appreciate me and that makes me feel good black can i have a fun thing. meanwhile the traditional handmade saddles are being prepared and the women's tent. is the troops trainer he has years of experience and insights to pass on to the young women. who would like it better women can also prepare the saddles to create. a demand comes in handy for making the noise something subtle a very long time. limit that's what if the nazi to lose to settle a hole says there's no human don't have question of strength. and. that's why most his help is so important i don't care who.

considers herself lucky to have most as a coach for the team in addition to being a good riding instructor he also provides moral support and it's just such not a foothold i'm sure we happy for them we are all equal alex said that you should teach your children to ride he didn't make a distinction between boys and girls are all mine if the girls are happy then we're all the more motivated to support them to have all this you know those are the boys of their. own as are sad but we love competition just like the men do the nurses. we foretell the way into their world to learn from them we're all equal there's no do it all i know not what i think this proves that moroccan women are strong we have. at the festival site the horses have been fed and watered and are now able to

settle down for the night. after sundown afghan's mother and sister iraq. will be spending the next 2 days in the team's tent. it's important for the families but the women do not spend the night alone. in. a fight and a good witness can said that. i held off for a because i wanted to achieve what i couldn't yet because i see potential and have . the enemy she went to i grew up in a different time but i'm sure that times will change for the better as i know that they don't have to every day something new happens so i hope african develop and i'm in the forward. with. them.

after a short night the 1st morning prayer begins in the neighboring tent you know and. no wonder. the fantasia evokes memories of times and legends passed on what might seem to outsiders like a tale from the arabian nights is a living tradition for moroccan. to showcase that not only the uniforms and saddles

but also the weapons but the event are all custom made by hand. the 1st visitors arrive in mid june early in the day to get a good spot. today fantasia's are among the biggest public best of bulls in morocco . and the spectacles attracted thousands of spectators. leading the way. to ensure that everyone has the chance to attend the tasiast are not held on religious holidays. and that's and you don't settle for less not everyone comes here to have a good time or the i that it's fun we eat and drink and ride the shit out with what i did which was an up the visitors are here to have fun just like the writers not

said breezy and had to think of soccer. with him in writing is like an addiction open a new concept comes up and if we can't write it's like soccer you know how the fans have to go to a match every saturday that it sounds old it's the same thing how do you feel the need to do to go to vote actually it's even worse in march so i'm sure the as it were bottled ceases act up. in office team there's a last minute change. out of concerns that not all the women would be able to take part she organized a substitute writer at short notice. the rules require every team to have at least 6 riders on the course. not least that's why 14 year old moloch yari enter father have traveled here in the early hours of the morning to join the group. small my daughter's horses here complete with

video my daughter can ride with you. get assume that she's finished i'll pick her up and we'll go back home too. it does not matter how bad they have great she's welcome here and they're the ones who were driven to see if everything works out don't let me get in your way. of acting now ok then i love head of the net she's well behaved and will listen to you. they're all good girls don't worry because you know that i was a gentleman lot of fat lot of good will get a good divorce so you can start your training monarch's gun is here to. look at his saddles ready to yammer on about the ok good luck. mom luck is young and very talented and could be a real asset to our prestige. up to now she was only able to train with the other

women during rehearsals. moloch is used to working with horses but she has not really learned how to handle the rifle it's a task not made easier by the weapon weighing 5 kilograms. messmates you must have the important thing is to shoot in sync if you're on says don't shoot at all otherwise it'll miss things up in the spectators will notice and i'll show you how it's done have a glow. said go ahead. i know not everyone in the team is happy about the last minute change would be good and the new composition of the group is causing resentment but i'm not the place on off as a left is particularly coveted traditionally the woman occupying it is the number 2 in the teams ranking another. doesn't mean that here yes looking at the live i told

you yesterday i would ride on your left now look i'm not giving you the place because last time he stretched your arms out way too far i don't want to hear this . you said you'd stop doing it so they get it off i was just saying. don't be angry or good. they did last night but that's easy to get you right next to me tomorrow and can today he's diplomatic i want you to be happy. we're here to have fun not to argue about places i'm not interested in that we've got to remember how. after everyone has calmed down the focus is back on the all important weapons training. after all the entire performance alternately depends on the synchronized firing of the rifles. well i did ready one last 1. 100.

odd though he. was. wol. shake your head. no no. the dry run went well now the team have to prove themselves in the saddle politically couldn't have said we're connected because of some of our documents are not only a problem in women's team men's teams argue as well. usually it's just a little misunderstanding anthony and i were the system and so we resolve everything pretty quickly. we can't ride together if we're upset with each other. we have to make peace 1st. we need to all get along well.

with. the team are getting nervous. santa is too sick to ride. that would mean one less rider on the field. fortunately maalik can take your place . putting on the costumes is always time consuming. the way the geladas are worn and the scarves are wrapped is something of an arch. so everyone pitches in including the writers families who are excited about the upcoming performance. mishap and citizenship my daughter is taking part 2 it's a big step forward for the country admitted that on the internet to its advancing women in morocco democrats much more of. them say no to the more under review it

does. show how american women are now equal to men will jump to a new deal with put off for a holiday just to help the girls with the events going to suffer in which he dismantled but you don't you should i wish them the best of luck. as you call it. and so. bad i'll be. all over the lot that i love. well you know. the miracle for clarity for you guess on the who was it's important to recite the alpha t.m. out because you have to be at peace with yourself because when you have not the heart and by praying i respect those who seem more like you can't ride without having me can send them over the edge now here's my frustration no you want a minute when you wish i had knew i had that good oh shut the fuck out we don't know whether you can survive i don't funk about all the tickets a lot of people have died in the school actually to confess how human with prayer

we make peace with one another our feeling came. from out going to very. close. to. each equestrian team prepares for the upcoming performance in their own way. if. you like me. please let me now. 6 the women are eager to show that they too can master the rituals like their fine.

there's an grandfathers before that. for moroccans the main point of the fantasia is the spectacle. for the around $500.00 riders it's not primarily about victory but about taking part and above all about. for a few hours the horses and riders bring the spirit and skill of berbera warriors back to life i. starts they have to register.

where. there are 7 teams ahead of. 7 ok what one will do we have to stand in line. and that. normally you don't have to alt. because. that's. the tension in the team is rising. to this competition is important for the young women will they be accepted by the spectators. as giving final instructions in a few minutes the team will have to prove that their training sessions paid off. the

bat has officially begun. the goal is to slowly bring the horses up to speed and then start the attack. in full gallop the riders seize their weapons with both hands and fire them all at the same time on the leader's order just as their ancestors did in battle. the art lies in producing a sound like a single burst of cannon fire. that's the highlight of each run. it's why the fantasia is also known as the gunpowder game. but not all the teams managed to perform the

feat. now off and her team have to prove that they are very much contenders. stuff like this in the stock would illustrate just driving can be dangerous and we didn't get to train all that well let's face it. that's different but once you get to look cool you really have a feeling of loss of power you feel you can do anything and god gives you that palin you feel like i ask you. to cut. cut cut. cut cut cut. cut. i'm excited to play you mean i'll stop the. next take your guns do the job and keep cool not a little silly i was going to. hear you teach you

to. play. play play . i have to say that. was. even though it wasn't quite perfect op as teams have proved themselves. the audience image you know is delighted with the performance of the 1st female team but their festival. and the women can be more proud of themselves.

and not that we get a lot of applause when there are no soap women watching if they make so cool during the heidi although we hear them shouting bravo how especially when we manage to shoot inside. oh well no i will keep all of you for there really happy and they give us encourage your father it also gives me strength because i have a place in the tuscan society and suck a 2nd if you young young man i think you it's not something everyone can do but done that you can have your help and i've got a tough black path that queenly all. this well after i've been through by participating with men and women of africa is helping to challenge our society and have removed them i don't think she lavatory any role she is playing may not willingly but it's still quite rare especially in our hometown.

and then the people that know and respect her and appreciate that she a young woman can keep up with the man so she's made a great contribution to our town and in. a few days after the big event the team share their adventure with the wider world . and how do you check out the new comments on our facebook page or reset the site so you can access a treasure but no not because then you can upload pictures to look good to. manage what happened she added the new pictures years on how to look right away. better question a culture we're going through the pictures from the temptation to see how we look at you for times and decide which ones to upload to facebook or conclude that we

now have $140000.00 followers people comments on our pitches in had the most them and we keep them up to date on the next fantasia will take place the response is really great as the buy it was because going from bottle. there was found no no to cry foul to let me show you the message i'm prepared with a good luck of being a top dog up through here and. then you look at this picture and i want that one to. send you all the peaches in the next few days. that's me. put this in a sauce in russia comment and i'd like it to either helped with. the manna. morocco's laws have opened up new opportunities for women or.

has embraced them together with their young troops and with the support of her family and friends men and women alike. the young women are not interested in fighting up political battles. but they consider it self evident that women should be recognized in society and have self-determination in their lives now and in the future. remember the beautiful view that i'm teaching to fishermen will get a good catch hold. of him live for physically walk with us. from the signs and. the sunset the ocean peter and i. will make it and just like my mother helped me i will help her to achieve everything she wants into law. to move me.
