Horse misbehaving Photo

Photographer’s Note

Camels are not the only animals sold at the camel festival. The Rajasthani men race full speed back and forth on beautiful horses, they have brought to the Camel Festival to sell, to show off: or to test ride before they buy. This one had began to buck. Soon he was completly wild, and bystanders were running. The horse reared all over the staduim, back and forth. The man on him, stayed seated until he got the horse under control, and made him do as he said. The men are excellent riders, full speed! (I forgot my current photo cd somewhere, so this is from my personal web pages)

Interesting picture despite the man between the Camera and the horse. I would prefer to see him a bit placed on his left but we cannot choose the best picture in this kind of images

Nice action shot you got here Gloria! Did anyone notice the defiant look in the horse's eye :)
