In Rongshui county, Gungxi province, China there is a festival to celebrate a beautiful girl. The legend states that 500 years ago, a girl was so beautiful that men from near and far converged to court her, and could not help but fight over her. Upset by the bloodshed, the girl arranged that a horse fight be organized, and her heart would be the prize.
Actual horse fighting is strangely like this. Stallions are goaded into a frenzy by the presence of a ripe mare, and then set upon each other, fighting for dominance. In the wild horses will fight for dominance and the right to mate, but it raises moral questions when a natural occurrence is crafted by man for pleasure and enterprise.
