Near the capital of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, horses and jockeys race in winter temperatures of more than minus 30 degrees Celcius. The child jockeys often have blemishes on their cheeks from frost bite. Horse racing is highly prestigious in Mongolia and is usually held throughout the countryside during the warm and bountiful summer. Winter racing, however, is very different in such harsh and unforgiving conditions.
