HOLY COW! DARING FARMERS IN THRILLING CATTLE RACE
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. Mud-caked competitors are dragged through paddy fields as part of Pacu Jawi, a festival where locals celebrate the end of the rice harvesting season. Indonesian photographer Teddy Winanda, 37, who has attended the event since 2012, witnessed this year’s race.
