The trials of the Ardia di Sedilo did not disappoint expectations, with sa prima pandela Marco Mongili and the two pandeleddas Pier Giuseppe Spada and Alessandro Nieddu who tested the terrain and the horses to make sure that all the gears are already in the right place, even if on the evening of 6 July the climate will be very different.
After entering the natural amphitheater and the still very fast climb up to the church, the flags made a few laps around the Sanctuary and then back down again at full speed up to sa Muredda.
Race leader Marco Mongili tested by riding "Qurula" from the stable of Sebastiano Meloni di Sedilo, with a change from the announced "Osvalda", a chestnut he owns. Smiling and satisfied with the checks made sa prima pandela. "In the next few days - he says - we will try to further refine some details".
Positive feedback also from the other two flags. Sa second Pier Giuseppe Spada riding "Peter Pan" his very expert horse with numerous Ardie behind him but also Sartiglie and pairs, while third Alessandro Nieddu tried with "Mary" , owned by his friend Francesco Marceddu , who became an escort for the forced forfeit of Massimo Loi for a broken arm.
Now the days of waiting for the Ardia begin. The real one.
