Quadrobers are people who transform into animal images using masks, tails, and characteristic movements. Their goal is to recreate the behavior of the chosen creature as authentically as possible, demonstrating a connection with nature.
Hobbyhorsers are representatives of another subculture who hone their riding skills on sticks with horse heads. They jump over obstacles and imitate the maneuvers of real riders.
