The trajectory of the Exhibition has been marked by the sponsorship of various public and private institutions; HE. City of Seville, the Royal Cavalry, newspaper ABC and Caja Rural de Sevilla.

The contest runs on display two phases, A test on the street Adriano, and B within the Bullring.

Suddenly, unexpectedly, a whip is traya, silence, the beasts are recomposed, drive and enter the arena, execute their evolutions between pasodobles and applause, and goodbye to step, teachers as winners, by Prince door.

With this act, Real Club de Andalucía hitches again renew, year after year, his promise to Sevilla, contributing to not forget his past and future broadcasting traditions that should not be missed.
