Sis and cheryl will start in some bush or glee if hes not scared i asked him and he said hed be brave like this one but i know. Now everyone is hungry but the rules are clear on some bar first the men in the hot then the women and children outside under the bamboo owning. Definitely the take you live and. Every now and then sherrill and charles mother takes them to a healer. The shaman wants to ease sherrills pain with massage using an oil made from coconut and onions chills right arm is paralyzed. His hip was broken and hasnt grown back together properly. After the accident i thought chair real would die he really need surgery in our hospital but his parents said they would prefer for him to be treated in the traditional way. The entire side of shrills body hurts. We cant remember how he fell off the horse. He was training on one that was much too big and wild for him. Before. Many child jockeys could be healed but very few families can afford a doctor as a result many families turn to their village shaman who they trust. Among. The after five days at home or real move for the First Time Ever since then its been improving little by little from all over the form. Some families achieve wealth and fame through horseracing but others are plunged into poverty. Some neighbors flags celebrate their latest wins during the races and some. But the house next door also displays pictures of a young boy i one was just eight years old when he died. In. The truck was muddy. I once saw slipped in the curb and fell. On this city that my son fell off and was kicked in the head. Holding i one hundred and i want. The parents of raised four children all four were jockeys. Does it the dordogne i. Know certain you are forcing the same. On one side on a horse for the first time when he was just two he had his first race at four i thought he had his last. Breath and yeah i always looked after i won but on that day i wasnt able to help him its still really hurts and the fact that. I won is buried near the house on the outskirts of the village on the way to the cemetery more and more children all i want is for my classmates followed us to see what we were doing he was laid to rest here last spring under the flowers next to his great grandmother. That he had been riding and death part of our lives. Sometimes i dream about i want. He writes past me across the field and then disappears as. You get to you. If you think. You can survive a horse race people here say but you cant survive your own death danger always arrives with you. Sure im sure rilla back at the racetrack cheryl is training for the next big price on the neighboring island. That. You know this is often belong to rich or families they let child jockeys ride them and then claim the winnings. Sheryl gets a wage for every race horses are semi wild and hard to control without a saddle all right. If a horse runs in a Straight Line it means the boys can control it and thats how long we have to train for what. We can go to the race before the oxen. Definitely not to zumba. This bend is always the hairiest part sheryls horse nearly hit the fence at full tilt it was so fast even our camera couldnt catch it on the homestretch the horse bolts again cheryl can hardly stay on. A little bit not. Let me. Be a lot of even a lot of the folks in the post that make up that was i am going to say well that will be a lot but i. Cant think of the big days coming closer the rice on somebody its their last evening at home with their friends the last chance to be a child again before heading back to the right structure. In the. Litani. River where her. Brothers even their mother joins in the football match in the mud she wont see her two sons for two weeks its hard for her to send sherrill and showgirl to the dangerous races she dumps the two of the more than anything. You please. Explain a. Little plain. For. Her. A helmet a jersey and whip thats what. Okies pact when they travel. Sometimes i think that. Theyre best friends have all come to say goodbye to their mother cant go with them she has to look after her nieces baby again. That is. I pray to god that sharia shall rule and my husband come back healthy. That was her. That they have a good race and bring back some money for our family. That the longer.

From the. Camera the three reached the coast at dawn. Summers in auckland like no other long white sand beaches clear water gentle mountain slopes many people here are animists believing in nature and local gods and spirits their customs and habits havent changed in one hundred years. Just because. The race has its roots to the horses a weighed in the size and age recorded the jockeys are supposed to have equal chances during the races. Did. You stop it and were going to weigh the horse measure it and look at its teeth you can tell the age of the horse that way is it two four or maybe six years old but then we have three age categories us young adolescent and adult. And youre all. Right if. Youre going to everyone some beloved soul says we have a motto daiwa the soul of the horse is also part of your own soul if the pool and the horse races here take place once a year theyre quite unique unlike anything anywhere else so you are a junkie who wants to win has to put up with a lot. Was this maybe some of. All but theyre not. Ready by sunset all the horses have been registered and the starting things paid the big day can come to us by the. Five. Thirty in the morning the dry red dust is hanging in the air. And the sun is scorching. Sherrill and cheryl can hardly white theyre among the first to arrive at the racetrack today. A q. And a. Little. If. The family set up camp in the shade of the tree is what it. Feels. Like to say you know what did. You. Think he was all about the folks. Cannot believe that its something. That my son did. And they did. And. It was. It was everyone here on somebody has been waiting for this day. The league. To league. Courses only raced on this huge track twice a year. I think i i. I. Its a different world tougher and more unforgiving the racetrack is twice as long in the horse is a much bigger sure rules father is worried. That if. That happens. That can be much. The fences in very high heel very stable the whole system can easily break free they are much stronger than i was back home and that would. I know know from somebody has book sheryl for two races today at the moment the starting block still resembles an Adventure Playground but soon it will become part of a messiness racing machine showroom dreams a victory. Lap that cant respond to those time about that time was after that that. Was. Given. The race and somebody is also a new experience for sharon its fast rough and dangerous. Cheryl falsus watched by the gamble as some of him of but a lot of money on him winning he manages to regain control just in time but then falls off just before the finish. Was.
