Horse made to 'dance' to the rhythm of a dhol drum - Is this cruel training or genuine animal love?

An amazing horse dancing competition was held at Kila Raipur Sports Festival,


Ludhiana Punjab. Kila Raipur Sports Festival, popularly known as the Rural Olympics, is held annually in Kila Raipur (near Ludhiana), in Punjab, India.

Competition is held for major Punjabi rural sports, include cart-race, rope pulling and many more, rather strange expressions of strength like holding bicyle with ones teeth, bull lock chariot riding, pulling vehicles with hair and letting a tractor pass over your ribcage

In February each year, Ludhiana becomes the destination for hundreds of sports enthusiasts, including foreigners. They come to Kila Raipur to see the special breed of bullocks, camels, dogs, mules and other animals competing in competitive events. The most prestigious winners have attended. In the year of the Olympics 2008, Hakam and Naib Singh Dhaliwal from village Kalsian, Punjab took the 1st place prize. They also won first in Gujjaral and Phalewal. They are known in Punjab as the men who hold the greatest passion in the sport.
