On June 19, 2010 in Bac Ha there is celebration of the very special and traditional horse racing which is very original with only plastic hat on participant' head, a couple of slipper, a horse with bow. All of them have aspiration of bringing victory and happiness to their ethnic groups and their villages as well.

The participants are from Tay, Dao, H'mong ethnic group who are really skillful and brave with nothing in their hands, they never need a saddle, a tirrup, or even safety cloths...And taking part in the competition in aspiration of victory. The participants and horses just have a piece of rectangle shaped cloth covering on horses's back, they control the horses just with two ropes being tied on horse's jaw. They don't have rod, only keep bridle to control the horse and keep being balance.

To keep being balance they must know how to seat on the deep-set near horse's shoulder, their two legs should hold tightly horse's body and follow the rhythm of horse's gallop. If they may be out of control and fall down so they must know how to act to avoid being injured.
