>> anthony: one rider, three horses. >> annuncer: and they're all in line. >> kennard: and they're lined up. gun goes off. it's like a spontaneous combustion. [ gunshot ] [ cheers and applause ] >> announcer: they're off. [ indistinct ] >> announcer: on the inside. >> anthony: top speed is around 40 miles an hour. and after each lap the rider dismounts at full freakin' gallop and leaps hopefully onto the next horse. yes, it's as dangerous and difficult as it looks. the prizes at big events run into the thousands of dollars, but really it's about bragging rights. >> announcer: into the race he goes. >> anthony: and pride. >> kennard: being in motion, in rhythm, in time, and in one with that horse, they develop strength of character. and once they conquer that fear, that feeling of accomplishment is so great, when they walk back from that race they have this sense of pride and self-worth of sky high. now they've identified with their ancestors.
