Pacu Jawi
A Pacu Jawi jockey spurs the cow during the traditional Pacu Jawi in Tanah Datar, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Pacu Jawi is a 400-year-old tradition in the area, held after the rice harvest once the paddies have been cleared. Competitors yoke themselves barefoot to two bulls using a wooden harness, and drive the animals by gripping their tails. Winners are judged by their ability to run in a straight line, and by whether both animals are cooperating. Some hundreds farmers participated over a number of races in Pacu Jawi in Tanah Datar, West Sumatra, Indonesia.
