The Prstenac Race is an equestrian event in which competitors must complete a 150-metre track in three races and hit an iron ring, called prstenac, with a spear. This year marked the 49th annual traditional race, which is held on the penultimate weekend of August and was revived in 1976, after a 280-year hiatus.
