Fechiba Fechiba Fechiba

The horse festival in Barani (Burkina Faso) is called Fechiba, which stands for Festival Culturel et Hippique de Barani.

Not Feshiba with an s, as I mistakenly wrote in the Times Fechiba article and elsewhere. I wouldn't mention it at all, except that Google tends to care deeply about little things like spelling.

With us at Fechiba this year was travel photographer Rupert Sagar-Musgrave, who has posted these amazing photos of the Fechiba horse festival.

Rupert also took a couple of these.

Roll on, Fechiba 2010. Oh, and for the sake of those Googlebots, here are properly spelled links to my earlier Fechiba posts:
