A race for speed on ostriches

Since ostrich speed racing is a relatively new activity, there are currently no established rules for organizing and conducting these races. Ostrich races last an average of 400 meters and during them the animals can reach between 45 and 50 km/h. The rider's main objective is to stay on the bird and cross the finish line unscathed. Specialized saddles, stirrups and reins may be used in certain sprint races. It is mandatory for jockeys to wear protective equipment when competing in these races.
