content: Edited film: this annual competition takes place in July in Marner-Neuenkoogsdeich, when fields between the homes become the sporting area for the two riding games. Halfway down the field, rings hang above the raceway, and riders are encouraged to try to catch them. At the end of the field a "Roland" figure with an outstretched arm is set up; the players ride past the figure in order to hit it and turn the "Roland" around. The best "Roland" rider and the best ring catcher are determined at the end of the game.
