Youre. The on earth im going to. War. With a fellow traveler you know that. The jockeys families have pitched their tents around the arena the twins cheryl and cheryl i had too many of the jockeys arent older than twelve and the youngest a just for the smaller and lighter they are the faster the horses can run and the better the chances of winning every morning share old ties a good luck charm given to him by a shaman around his tummy. And helen cant get. Much down ruger. Theres been horse racing on some for as long as people can remember.

Home i hope she will when i try. Gold if he wins will be happy. If you loses so be. The one. And share all of the other children where hardly any protective gear just a light helmet and a cloth mask to protect them from the dust and sun the jockeys carry a crop but otherwise ride barefoot and without a saddle thats another reason why these races are so dangerous you never. Meet. The crowd is made up of gamblers theyre all hyped up and excited they can earn a lot of money at the races and gambling is actually illegal in indonesia as is child labor but on this whole sea island tradition trumps the role. I. Could we love betty my sons a jockey to be six. But hes brought home a lot of money. That if i was. Sure all of the others wait for the start signal the race last two crazy minutes a long circuit through the dust. I think i. Was. On the. Horse racing used to be fun between neighbors but then more and more money came into play its a tough business on the backs of the horses and the children and cheryl doesnt come first this time he missed the chance of a big win. But. That it that with that that did that a massive. Particle for the surface of. The tongue to. Make it do a little good to get itself will get the talk. Through consoles himself with a helping of coconut ice cream for the other children the races continued without a bright. Orange in. The order. Able. To match. The new. Moon. The prize is sure. And his family had hoped for the go to others today. A calf a television and the keys to a moped. Sharon sherrill and their father packed their things even before the grand finale cheryl will soon get another chance in a few days time the three will head to the next big race on the neighboring island some by that one will be really tough. The twins share all and cheryl has been traveling the country with their father since they were four theyre inseparable some bar is one of indonesias poorest regions the people can barely live off its fields. The richly no tourists but sure rule can end five hundred euros a week from riding thats attempting the large amount of cash in. The war to get. Similar to. The at. Least. The war. Yeah. But its a hard life. So far. The physical that im battling. And when i think. Its six oclock in the morning cheryl and sherrill awake from this slumbers their mother has made rice with a bit of a breakfast. To get through. The news. Rooms with. News. The family lead a simple life theres no running water. Everything happens in the stream next to the paddy fields. Brushing their teeth washing their hands you cant always be. Easy to raise twins but the mother lovingly looks after her two sons. They. Show hall and sharia are completely identical when she wants to wear a red shirt chair real well i also want to read one theyre twins but cherry a has this disability sometimes i have to warn cheryl to be more considerate. Its the first day of school after ten days at the racetrack and even before that the two played hooky to race instead of going to school cheryl im sure really are looking forward to seeing their friends and having lessons again. Going to. School is compulsory in indonesia but nobody has a problem with the fact that cheryl im sure real absence of much not even the teachers but how much more will the other children already have learned. That. The school day starts in the same way as always with the roll call shall rule and cheryl have to stand still for a quarter of an hour the brothers find that a struggle. They want to be far away from the teacher sure all insurers are in the back row but they actually enjoy school a lot. Might come to my mind the lot im puttin punkish. In my you might get. That jab. Cheryl and sherrill are the only ones in their class who have gone through so much of the time they miss two or three months of school per year they cant read or write particularly well they have a lot of catching up to do suddenly and not because they said that the show rulon chair real are quite active sometimes they fight and then one of the most start crying the out begins the one the minute we miss them when theyre not here sitting in the money. Was was. I. See. Me in my. Eye. Even though everyone says cheryl im sure real are so similar cheryl still seems to have more jokes up his sleeve. That. I. That actual rule and cheryl has the energy of well race horses theyre not necessarily born for the classroom but the twins love playing volleyball in the school yard and enjoy being outside. That. Done. Thank you. I was in love was the first call was done and the so no no no no come on. You come up the war but you. Know that that sound my friends out there got to do didnt mind. That im. No day passes at School Without the national anthem. I. Was shortly after noon cheryl and sharia law on their way back home. Their mother is bathing her nieces daughter family is everything on some bar it provides stability and security some neighbors are about to arrive. You. See. Their father has invited them thats part of the tradition too the boys are on the go for ten days now theyll be a feast as theyre all reunited ok. Ok ok out i miss them so much i tend to go to the races but we just have a newborn in the family that means i have to stay back and help im overjoyed that challenge ariel are back again im. Sure all also missed his mother but he missed his beloved horse just as much. Well mr michael dunn will. Not. Mother this i understand. The family twenty but they can afford the mother was killed a chicken meat and bones chicken broth rice vegetables the neighbors of arrived all men it just said a prayer of thanks that everyone has returned healthy from the race and been up. To the age of thirty. One. My grandfather had horses and my father had horses. I dissembled that now i have horses and so it goes. Again. This is have always been a part of our lives we believe we need them to be a complete man you need a good woman a weapon to defend yourselves and first and foremost a fast. System to share all will start in some bush or plea if hes not scared i asked him and he said hed be brave like this one. And now everyones 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. The turkey tucker thank you. Every now and then sherrill and shows 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 he. Did the entire side of shrills body hurts. He cant remember how he fell off the horse. He was training on one that was much too big and wild for him. To do the beast. Now. 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. On. The after five days at home real move for the First Time Ever since then its been improving little by little for all of this is. Some families achieve wealth and fame through horse racing 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. The true. Was monday. I one soul slipped in the curtain fell. On this suit that my son fell off and was kicked in the head. Holding out one hundred and i was. The parents of raised four children all four were jockeys. And does if i dont i. Know certain youre forcing missing. On one side on a horse for the first time when he was just two he had his first race at four ite he had his last. Weekend and yeah i always look after i won but on that day i wasnt able to help him yet its still really hurts at this. Hour one is buried near the house on the outskirts of the village on the way to the cemetery more and more children all are ones former 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. He had been riding and death part of our lives. Sometimes i dream about taiwan. He writes passed me across the field. And then disappear as. You can see. If you think. You can survive a horse race people here say but you cant survive your own death danger always arrives with you. Cheryl and cheryl and back at the racetrack cheryl is training for the next big race on the neighboring island. For the this is often belong to rich or family so 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 part. But. 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 cant go to the race before the ox and definitely not to. And this band is always the harry is 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. I dont believe now that. Im going to be a mile out of even a lot of the folks in the field that make up that much i am going to say what that will be a lot but the. Fact. That you 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. Litany in the let me. Play a. Hearing where her. Brother 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 shirley to the dangerous races she loves the two of the more than anything. Want to. Eat. Meat. They are. Playing. Her. A helmet a jersey and whip thats what jockeys pack when they travel. And. Their best friends have all come to say good bye their mother cant go with them she has to look after her nieces baby again. And i pray to god that chariot and my husband come back healthy. That they have a good race and bring back some money for our family. Back the only. Most people on some are devout muslims and sherrill and charles father says a prayer even though cheryls the only one who can still ride the twins have a common goal to return home as winners. Told. Her. They have a twelve hour trip ahead of them taking the ferry to somebody. Has only been just some but once. His brothers never been. Everyones excited. The second. Brother. On. The phone. From. The three reached the coast at dawn. Summers in auckland like no other long white sandy beaches clearwater gentle mountain slopes many people here animists believing in nature and local gods and spirits their customs and habits havent changed in one hundred years. But. The race has its limits to the horses a weighed in the size and age recorded the jockeys are supposed to have equal chances during the races good luck and not. Just. Because you stop it and were going to weigh the horse measure it and look at its teeth you can tell the age of the holes that way is it two four oh maybe six years old but then we have three age categories us young adolescent and adult and i greet them out in the sky label. And. You know. The way the world really is if. Everyone on some beloved soul says we have a motto. The soul of the horse is also part of your own soul if. The horse races here take place once a year theyre quite unique unlike anything anywhere else to do the job once to win has to put up with a lot to. Be some of out of. All but theyre not one of them but. My son said all the horses have been registered and the starting fees paid the big day can come a little bit. If i do not have. Any in the morning the dry red dust is hanging in the air and the sun is scorching. Sherrill im sure all can harvey white there among the first to arrive at the racetrack today. He came. To. The family set up camp in the shade of the trees. To see what. They. Think. About the food. Channel the place. On the long term for my. Gosh. Everyone here on somebody has been waiting for this day. Courses only raced on this huge track twice a year. 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. The fences in very high yield very stable. The whole system can easily break free they are much stronger than i was back home. And i know from some by his book sheryl for two races today at the moment the starting box still resembles an Adventure Playground but soon it will become part of a messiness racing machine showroom dreams of victory. Not. That that was fun for those. Not out id have to get that that. Was. The race song somebody is also a new experience for sure its fast rough and dangerous. Churro fultons watched by the gamble as some of whom have been a lot of money on him winning he manages to regain control just in time but then falls off just before the finish. High. And i am not. God but sure all is ok he just needs a good shake to realign his joints. Thats how fools and dont we here in red dust of some. Damn. The next horse fulls and the jockey is lucky to get away with a great show. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah oh. Yeah man a man. That everything hurts but at least hes still in one piece that i could find again times that i dont think theyre going to. Get theres always a little bit of blood but nobodys been killed yet the kids ride they fall off and we have. Thought that far yet. Sure im sure real move competition food stalls watering holes ruffles gangs the horse race and summer is also a big fan at least he assured sherrill can win some prizes. But. As you heard what have you done man youre. The man alive i know you have. To tell. Me. That man. I never. Met the man. That you. Know the place. That. I this. Was surely prepares for the next rice.

Got rid of all of that i never got. That from that part of the. Song from the man on. The races will last the whole week and sure rule will compete a few more times but this year he wont be taking home much money. Eat. Horse races alike a temptation that sucks in people until they all forget all the risks and dangers.
