Giddy up daddy. Man and son crossing the Pixaim River, Pantanal, Brazil

---

Every year in the fall in the Pantanal they have a festival called Cavalgada do Cavalo Pantaneiro (Cavalcade of Pantanal Horses) where ~150 horses and riders party and whoop it up and ride from fazenda to fazenda across the Pixaim River. It is a ribald occasion with lots of drinking, selfies and hilarity as people fall off their horses into the river. This young boy found a safe way to cross the river!
