This has to be an expensive hobby.

Apparently Horse Fighting is popular in the Philipines. I would have thought this wasn’t really economically sound. I’m not sure what a horse goes for but it can’t be cheap which leads me to believe the purse at a Horse Fighting Tournament must be enormous.

A couple of questions:

  1. How does one train a horse for fighting?
  2. Are there certain breeds of horses that are better at fighting?
  3. Can you ride a fighting horse?
  4. What constitutes the end of a horse fight?
  5. Who pays for the horses?

Well it’s good to know the Philipines are upholding ‘Cultural Traditions’.
