An Indonesian farmer is dragged through muddy water as he clings to the tails of two charging cows. Standing on a flimsy wooden frame, the daredevil rider is a participant in an annual cattle race in the Tanah Datar regency of West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Indonesian photographer Teddy Winanda, 37, who has attended the event since 2012, witnessed this year’s race.
