In a WaPo image not found by xoB (I look through there occasionally), here we have "the Miao people in Rongshui celebrating the mid-autumn festival". Apparently halfway through a season is reason enough to get two hosses to battle it out. I didn't know they would do this on cue.
It's sad, and a waste. And these shots always give me pause - am I part of the problem, in a sense, by promoting this image because it's so wild? Is the photographer part of the problem, in a sense, by capturing the perfect shot while the one horse's mane is flying in the air like some sort of Trojan?
Either way, there are a few such fighting animal shots in the archive. The last time, it was
sheep.
