Horse Racing Festival of Lithang, Ba e

大開眼界，真正英雄好漢子；亦要贊揚匹匹好馬。

tashi delek...thank you nice see my home lithang and festival i love,shame chinese ban it this year that sucks down with chinese rule BOD GYAL Tenzin dickyi :)

these ponys are small but incredibly suited for the terrain. These guys are bending over to pick up khatas scarves at full gallop. The more the more succesful one is. In some races like kyiku they jumpon and off and do head stand in full gallop. I havent even seen mongolian horsemen do that.

brave khampa....i really appreciate their bravery i am a tibetan but not khampa i wish i was khampa the name has its own value..............goodluck khampas from kham

i wish i can do that. hahahaahhaha but i dont want to break my back. :] this is the part of Tibet my grandma was born.

with the price of oil these guys are on to something

amazing

Excellent horsemanship!! Lithang has always been famous for its superb horsemanship. The men are brave and a bit "wild" even among the naturally wild khampas. May be that explains a lot of these dare-devil acts. I would hate to be married to one ...you never can be sure what can go wrong...

I agree. It must be hard on the horses.

why are they falling like that? it seems bad for the horse, just wanted to know?
