Indian relay races are a blast to watch. Les Bois park hosted some Indian relay races this past summer.

There can be some tense moments when the riders switch horses. The riders attempt a flying dismount, then take a running jump on the second horse that generally is a bit fidgety from another horse running straight at them at full steam.

If one has the opportunity to witness an Indian relay race, you are in for a real entertaining event.
