A series of horse racing events is being held at Winter Naadam in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region this week. A total of 104 teams will compete in the 3x2,000-meter race. Speed aside, the competition is also about how well riders can complete compulsory movements on snowfield.

Moreover, the organizers have prepared a 15-kilometer enduro, in which many children raced with adults. Some of these children are not enough tall enough to ride on the horse by themselves, but once they sit on the back of the horse, these young riders displayed remarkable skills that match the adult racers.
