Every year in the fall in the Pantanal they have a festival called Calvacado do Cavalo Pantaneiro (Cavalcade of Pantanal Horses) where ~150 horses and riders party and whoop it up and ride from fazenda to fazenda across the Pixaim River. It is a ribald occasion with lots of drinking, selfies and hilarity as people fall off their horses into the river. This is one of the riders after he fell in and then got back on his horse.
