On 26SEPT15 I went to the Real Maestranza in Seville to see Manuel Escribano, and Lopez Simon take on seven bulls from “El Pilar” and “Moises Fraile.” An interesting moment was when the first bull was either cojo/lame or injured himself on the first pass of the veronica. Both way he was falling down and limping. The judges gave him a red flag and he was ushered out to die in disgrace. He was ushered out by bringing in a herd of cows with cowbells. The cows settled the bull down and and the Granjero herded him and the other cows out without any tools. I have two photos of this process. I have one photo of Lopez Simon and his cuadrilla making his rounds after earning the only oveja of the night. I also have a photo of Manuel Escribano taking his first bull on his knees. The fight started at 1800 and I had sol seats on fila 1. Since I got sun seats my tickets were only 38 euro. By the fourth bull I was in shade. It was a hot first hour; however. I have a photo of a picador getting knocked off his horse. The horse also went feet up but walked out okay.
