The National Gallop

Budapest, Hungary

While we were in Budapest there was a celebration going on called the National Gallop. Part of the celebration included a series of horse races between the various tribes of Hungary. The track was very muddy from an overnight rain (as you can see by looking at the horses) and this horse and rider fell right in front of us. The horse got right up and ran off. The rider wasn't so lucky. He was taken from the track in an ambulance.
