KAEEN TIGER, SAYING:
“Just as long as everybody is out there having fun and being safe, that’s the only thing that everybody really cares about — what I care about anyways. Winning comes after you, usually after you be humble and all that.”
It’s a sport primarily practiced by Native Americans in the northern plains
One rider completes three circles of a track
They leap off the first horse onto another one
and take off toward the finish line
