This Tibetan family is preparing for the long ride home after spending the day at the traditional horse racing festival, where nomadic Tibetan families gather high up on the Tibetan Plateau (4200 meters) to watch local Khampa horsemen compete in various horse races. Everyone is dressed in their best Tibetan outfits, with some modern accessories. I watched as the mother of this family helped her exhausted three young sons climb on the horse's back, while she and her older son held the reins and led the horse across the grasslands and the long walk home.
