Libyan traditional horse riding at a wedding in Janzor city west in Tripoli, Libya. From western Libya, horsemen come from different cities and towns, wearing traditional Libyan clothes to ride their horses in groups. Each group must be from the same city or town trying to ride in one line with same speed in perfect harmony and symmetry. The line is a mix of young and old riders with a leader who is usually the oldest and has more experience in horse riding. This event , however, cannot be done at all Libyan weddings. This is due to the cost, accommodation and of course the cost of providing food and such amenities by the host. Sometimes, these riders could even stay for three days! Also, during this event, there must be a wide space for the riders and spectators.
