Navajo Horse Racing (10 images)

Horse racing on the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona is not like horse racing you've seen at the track or on television. It's a throwback to the days of the old west. Members of the Nation, with their horses, gather in a meadow, usually off the beaten path, on the reservation and then race their horses. Some races are short - maybe a couple of miles, some are much longer - 10 - 15 miles.
