在印尼松巴哇島上的賽馬比賽(巽他文:Maen Jaran)中,兒童騎師戴著極少的防護用具,騎在未上鞍也沒釘馬蹄鐵的小馬上。世代傳承的賽馬比賽是歡慶豐收的傳統活動;但在20世紀時,荷蘭人將此轉變為娛樂官員的觀賞性運動。5到 10歲的男孩一天上馬以每小時 80公里的速度馳騁 5到 6次,獲勝者可以贏得現金獎勵,而其他參賽者每場可以賺得 3.5至 7歐元。

Child jockeys ride bareback, barefoot and with little protective gear on small horses, during Maen Jaran horse races, on Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. Maen Jaran is a tradition passed on from generation to generation. Once a pastime to celebrate a good harvest, horse racing was transformed into a spectator sport on Sumbawa by the Dutch in the 20th century, to entertain officials. The boys, aged between five and ten, mount their small steeds five to six times a day, reaching speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour. Winners receive cash prizes, and participants earn €3.50 to €7 per mount.
