Horse collapses in front of San Nicolás: A wake-up call for Palma

Answer

How can visitors in Mallorca tell if a horse is struggling in the heat?

A horse that is struggling may look exhausted, stand unsteadily or stop responding normally. In Mallorca’s hot weather, signs can become more serious quickly if the animal is exposed to sun, crowds and hard ground. If something looks wrong, it is best to alert the coachman or nearby staff and ask for help.
