Stallion drive

At the annual, traditional Rauriser stallion drive in the Raurisertal, Noriker stallions fight for the role of lead stallion before they head to the Grieswies Alm for the alpine summer. This is very spectacular for the spectators, but necessary for the animals to ensure a peaceful summer on the mountain pasture.
