Fantasia (Arabic: الفانتازيا) is a traditional exhibition of horsemanship in the Maghreb performed during cultural festivals and for Maghrebi wedding celebrations.[1][2] It is present in Algeria, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger and Tunisia.[3][2][4] It is attested in the ancient Numidian times during which it was practiced by the Numidian cavalry.[5][6] Historian Carlos Henriques Pereira stated that the North African fantasia also called barud is a modern watered down version of a Numidian military technique.[7]

Fantasia is considered a cultural performance and a form of martial art;[8] it also symbolizes a strong relationship between the man (or woman) and the horse, as well as an attachment to tradition.[9] According to Jean-Pierre Digard, it is a watered down version of the Numidian cavalry charge.[10]
Fantasia performances usually take place during local seasonal, cultural or religious festivals, also called موسم moussem "saint's day festival" in Maghrebi Arabic.
