In Sedilo, a small village in Sardinia, the year is divided into two parts; Before S’Ardia and after S’Ardia. Born from legend this horse race is steeped in faith and religious pageantry where three race against 100. In simple terms it represents the battle between Saint Constantine and Maxentius. Christianity against Paganism.
But S’Ardia is much more than a simple horse race. These riders will wait decades for the honour of being Sa Prima Pandèla and race through the Sanctuary. In Sedilo, it is not just tradition, religion and bravery for those who live and breath horse riding, it is S’Ardia.
