don´t know at the moment mate, i´ll keep my eyes open in the meantime. i take it you mean riding events etc. but i´ll let you know if anything else good is going on - there´s quite often fiestas in the city, with concerts parades etc. for example, in april and may: International Gourmet Fair A paradise for food and wine lovers, the annual Madrid Gourmet Fair has improved every year since it was first held in 1987 to showcase Spain’s fine food and beverages. Traditionally the fair opens with the entertaining ‘Ham Carving Competition’ (ham being a staple delicacy in Spain, and gourmets being particularly partial to ham from acorn fed pigs). There is also wine-tasting, a gourmet cook-off in which top chefs from Spain’s autonomous regions compete, a ‘Spanish cheese’ contest and of course plenty of delights to sample at the stands of more than 700 national and international exhibitors. Venue: Casa de Campo Exhibition Centre; Date: 14-17 April 2008 Fiesta de San Isidro Madrid goes wild each May in honour of the city's patron saint, San Isidro, with a traditional round of partying, feasting and dancing in the streets that goes on for about 10 days around the designated saint's day, 15 May. The city's streets are dominated by music, and each neighbourhood (barrio) chimes in with their own street party or traditional celebration. The city's squares become centres of performances of everything from flamenco to rock 'n roll, while spectators feast on traditional ice cream and doughnuts. San Isidro's fiesta also signals the start of the city's bullfighting season at the Plaza de Toros Monumental de Las Ventas.

Venue: Plaza Mayor, Plaza de las Vistillas, Plaza de las Comendadoras, Plaza de Felipe II, Parque del Retiro and the Centro Cultural de la Villa in the Jardines del Descubrimiento; Date: May 2008, TBC and a streetboarding event (not exactly sure what streetboarding is, but might be worth a look, http://streetboarding.com/2007/04/23/uxs-madrid/ all depends on what you want to do see while you´re there and what you can fit in alongside all the riding.
