Horses compete in a river-crossing race at a river in San Fernando de Apure, some 400 km (250 miles) south from Caracas, Venezuela April 9, 2006. Over 35 horses participated in the swimming race that recreated old river-crossing customs on the margins of the Apure River. Each team is made up of a jockey, a boatman, and a horse; they train for more than two months for this 400m (1300 feet) race. Over ten million bolívares ($4,600) are distributed to the winners.
