Hola
Jim has posted 50+ pics on his facebook page. To get there, go to his web page, jimwalls.info, and follow the link to his facebook page. He hasn't shared the videos he took of the riders and horses doing their stuff. Hopefully he will. I have seen them and they are impressive.

Not sure if there was any dancing, but the horses came up the municipal beach from the museo, then up between Daniel's restaurant and la cancha. I'm not sure where they went after that - we saw them from the pier. A few broke loose and came all the way down the beach past all the fishing boats, came out across from the capitania del puerto and went out to the parking lot. They were escorted or followed by someone on an ATV all the way from the museo, who then followed the two escapee horses out to the parking lot. Definitely not a sight you see every day!

Hola
Just talking to Jim Walls. He has taken 320+ photos of the event. Horses didn't make it to la cancha. Scheduling problems. They ended up at selenas, by cinco de mayo. Don't know if anything is going on tomorrow. Let you know if there is. Next year I will just go to Ixtapa. Lots of stuff there. Free bbq and beer. There was also drone coverage of the event. When I get more info I will let you know. Jim is going to edit his pics. Judging from the ones I saw, they are pretty incredible.

Hola
Apparently the horses and riders start Sat morning in Ixtapa. After there they are riding down the main road to Zihua. There are supposed to be 400 horses and riders. A little hard to believe, but that is what I was told by several different people. A good friend and a great photographer, Jim Walls, will be covering the event. If you can't make it, there will be lots of pics on his page. Can't see 400 horses at la cancha, but who knows, this is Mexico.
