Horse fight is a 500-year-old entertaining tradition of Miao people in Rongshui, Guangxi province, and it is often hold in different festivals. It is held twice a year, one is on 16th January lunar month, other 16th August lunar month. The former one is for parying for harvest, later one is for celebrating the harvest. After the match finishes, people drape red cloth over the winner's back. The owner of the horse is not only awarded, but also feels very proud of having such a brave and strong steed. Gwendoline Mo
