Indian Relay Riders, Pink and Yellow
Indian Relay racers gallop at breakneck pace along the track during the NW Montana Fair's races in 2020. An extreme sport spun from the horse traditions of the plains, Indian Relay is a break-neck bareback race on painted steeds, with riders switching from one galloping horse to another every lap. The event has spread across the North American West, putting a distinctive Indigenous stamp on agricultural fairs like this one in Kalispell, Montana.
