Caption: Ser'xu, Sichuan, China - Aug 2002. Horsemen above their trusty steeds at the Ser'xu Horseracing Festival in Eastern in long fox skin cloaks, hats and never without their ponies, the Khampa are traditionally warring cavaliers and heroic herdsmen who roam the grasslands of the former Tibetan kingdom of Kham. The once-every-three-year horse racing festival attracts swarms of Khampas who gather to socialise and see who has the fastest horse in the most importnat Tibetan festival.
