Fidel is a child who lives in the depths of Monte de Puerto Libertad, Misiones. At the age of twelve he works in the field and competes in races with Che, his horse. With these races he seeks to win in order to earn money and help his mother who lives deep in the heart of Paraguay. But Che will have a near-fatal accident and the child will try to heal him with his limited resources. Fidel must wait for his partner or race with another horse. While he awaits his friend's fate, he will ride Lunita de Libertad, always wearing his lucky Maradona jersey, awakening even more hope in the peasants who follow him. With an epic humanity, the small but great jockey will make his way into the improvised turf court built on the land claimed by Alto Paraná S.A.Multinational, a company that owns 10% of the Missionary territory and that is in conflict with the peasants residing there. Riding on his dream horse, the borders will be blurred with his Sapucai roar, a cry from the noble roots of his Guarani blood, shouts that mimic "freedom’s call, which expands the asphyxiated lungs of those who wish to be, ask for rhythm, beg for justice for what they feel to be excessive."

At the New Freedom Movement Racetrack.
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.040
There will be live music

Traditional food
00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:24.880

When I went to Argentina...
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.320
I went with my brother
To tend to some horses
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.000
Our life was really tough,
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.040
We didn’t make much…
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.960
We didn’t live well there
00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:47.480
It was complicated because
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.240
There was so little to eat
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.520
My brother and I
Endured a lot
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.400
We also missed our mom
00:05:55.400 --> 00:05:56.480
so much
00:05:56.520 --> 00:05:59.560
I wanted to go back to Paraguay
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.840
A long time had passed
Without seeing them
00:06:04.344 --> 00:06:08.204
Christmas, Argentina.
Puerto Libertad Misiones Mountain.
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.160
Man,
00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:34.440
We came to visit Misiones, Argentina
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.440
For the first time
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.240
Because a caretaker recommended me
00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:42.200
Do you want to train Che Negrito?
he says
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.080
Of course!
00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:50.800
He’s not a horse that
can be tamed, but...
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:56.000
He tells me, Che Negrito -
He can run
00:06:56.200 --> 00:06:59.880
Then I thought, I‘ll bring Fidel!
Fidel will be able to ride him.
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.200
Alright
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.680
Fidel, do you remember?
You were with me then
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.000
Right, Fidel?
00:07:05.025 --> 00:07:05.815
Yeah
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:07.840
We’re going to race With Che
00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:09.520
El Che Negrito
It’ll be hard
00:07:09.640 --> 00:07:11.360
I told Fidel,
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:14.640
We have to win this race
00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:17.360
Fidel, give me 3,700 pesos
00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:19.960
And I went to bet it all
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.240
I said to Fidel,
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.920
Let’s work hard and fight,
brother!
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:26.600
We work hard
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.320
And we’re brave
00:07:28.320 --> 00:07:31.120
You and I are both brave,
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.560
Fidel tells me, no matter what!
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:36.600
No matter what!
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.000
We have to beat
the Brazilians
00:07:40.125 --> 00:07:42.360
You take hold of Che Negrito
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:43.960
with the reins really tight
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.600
And you fly like a rocket
00:07:45.640 --> 00:07:47.040
I said to Fidel,
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.120
If we lose this race,
00:07:50.145 --> 00:07:53.400
We’re leaving Argentina and going home!
00:07:54.767 --> 00:07:58.031
Christmas, Paraguay
Italkyry Mountain.
00:08:01.249 --> 00:08:05.000
At 6 years old,
00:08:07.129 --> 00:08:10.280
He already liked this sport
00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:17.200
He loved the horses,
Always mounting them...
00:08:17.200 --> 00:08:18.800
Me being his father,
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.160
I enjoyed it
I would always go with him
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:26.800
He was always dying to ride
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.160
I told my wife: This kid
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.840
really wants to ride horses
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.600
So, teach him to ride,
Was her response
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:38.040
So that’s how we began to
Practice and train
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.280
After about 22 or 30 days,
00:08:40.280 --> 00:08:41.680
He could already ride so well
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.400
And was already making a name
For himself
00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:46.080
He was just so talented
On horseback
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:51.640
He was famous in our region
00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:02.240
And it was going really well for us,
racing
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.000
In Paraguay he never lost
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.240
Not a single race
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:06.880
If you ask around in Itakyry
00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:08.440
The town of Itakyy...
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.234
Everyone there knows us
00:09:11.234 --> 00:09:14.320
I’m not kidding...
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.770
He is such a brave kid
00:09:17.283 --> 00:09:19.153
Bad things were always
forbidden
00:09:19.904 --> 00:09:21.156
I always told my kids that,
00:09:21.741 --> 00:09:24.857
Don’t do bad things, kids
00:10:01.002 --> 00:10:03.073
I missed my mother a lot
00:10:03.604 --> 00:10:08.346
I wanted to go back to Paraguay to see her
00:10:08.705 --> 00:10:12.065
But I didn't have the cash
00:10:12.353 --> 00:10:14.763
To be able to do that
00:10:14.787 --> 00:10:17.427
We missed each other
00:11:05.277 --> 00:11:08.175
That fish is enormous
00:11:16.658 --> 00:11:17.795
Come on, let’s go fishing!
00:11:28.887 --> 00:11:30.645
Are there fish here?
00:11:40.700 --> 00:11:45.218
Aren’t you a little cold?
If we’re outside, it’s colder
00:11:52.868 --> 00:11:55.617
- fish
- are there fish?
00:11:56.881 --> 00:12:00.792
black, duck black is going out
00:12:01.473 --> 00:12:06.145
I dropped the line
00:12:09.458 --> 00:12:10.912
Over there
00:12:24.242 --> 00:12:26.891
-Any bites? -There are no fish here
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.587
No fish
00:12:41.903 --> 00:12:46.193
I’m going to cast the line,
I might be able to catch a catfish
00:12:47.018 --> 00:12:49.050
I would eat it raw
00:13:01.131 --> 00:13:02.996
What are we going to eat, huh?
00:13:03.372 --> 00:13:07.435
Will we be able to fish?
Maybe a boga?
00:13:08.467 --> 00:13:09.395
If you can catch it
00:13:12.369 --> 00:13:13.724
You got a Yuka!
00:13:13.724 --> 00:13:15.697
Kiss my ass!
00:13:17.054 --> 00:13:19.591
Don’t be a smartass
00:14:07.893 --> 00:14:10.302
We’ll eat a boga
You got a bite?
00:14:11.053 --> 00:14:12.855
Looks like the cops are coming!
00:14:14.964 --> 00:14:15.748
What?
00:14:15.748 --> 00:14:18.092
Let them come over here
00:14:18.092 --> 00:14:20.189
What are we going to do if the cops come?
00:14:21.086 --> 00:14:24.192
Relax, the water’s not
Their jurisdiction
00:14:27.288 --> 00:14:27.940
And those ones?
00:14:30.717 --> 00:14:32.033
That’s their property
00:14:34.970 --> 00:14:37.891
We should go, then
00:14:37.891 --> 00:14:39.393
I think up to here is their property
00:14:39.393 --> 00:14:41.706
And from there it’s the other one
00:15:00.485 --> 00:15:02.612
They’ve got rifles
00:15:02.612 --> 00:15:05.515
Are you scared?
Miguel walks around with his gun
00:15:05.515 --> 00:15:07.234
He’s always guarding the fields
00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:25.445
Fidel, tell him what you did
to Yuka
00:16:26.066 --> 00:16:28.410
You tell him
You’re the storyteller
00:16:30.454 --> 00:16:33.327
Okay, we went to the tournament
00:16:33.327 --> 00:16:34.771
A really tough competition
00:16:35.562 --> 00:16:38.618
When I went into that race
00:16:38.618 --> 00:16:40.253
This son of a bitch told me
00:16:42.076 --> 00:16:43.513
Get your donkey out of here!
00:16:43.538 --> 00:16:45.427
Get your donkey off the track!
00:16:46.475 --> 00:16:49.559
They had these huge horses!
00:16:50.641 --> 00:16:52.606
Huge for being racing horses
00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:54.714
With our horses!
00:16:55.582 --> 00:16:57.701
They brought
fireworks with them
00:16:57.727 --> 00:16:59.342
And a bunch of things
00:16:59.367 --> 00:17:00.485
To celebrate
00:17:00.516 --> 00:17:01.858
The Brazilians?
00:17:01.858 --> 00:17:03.154
Yeah, the Brazilians
00:17:03.673 --> 00:17:07.857
275 pesos and 85 centavos for Negrito,
00:17:08.204 --> 00:17:10.675
No more, no less!
00:17:12.662 --> 00:17:14.928
We brought Che into the gate
00:17:14.928 --> 00:17:16.512
He escaped and went off running!
00:17:18.674 --> 00:17:21.264
He just left? Yuka
00:17:21.264 --> 00:17:22.591
Che was mad!
00:17:22.591 --> 00:17:24.908
He went over to the reedbed
00:17:24.931 --> 00:17:27.937
He kicked everything, he broke a door
00:17:28.991 --> 00:17:31.079
He got out by himself!
00:17:34.157 --> 00:17:36.446
Look, he ran that way
00:17:37.116 --> 00:17:38.642
Che got angry with
me and He left
00:17:38.941 --> 00:17:42.223
He stayed far away between the
Sweet reeds
00:17:42.204 --> 00:17:42.204
Don’t be afraid
00:17:42.204 --> 00:17:42.904
We wouldn’t have anything to eat
00:17:42.258 --> 00:17:44.491
Then Che Negrito came back
00:17:44.848 --> 00:17:49.407
Fidel and I went to get him
Right, Fidel?
00:17:49.641 --> 00:17:50.804
Yep
00:17:50.998 --> 00:17:52.571
There he stopped right in front of us.
00:17:53.069 --> 00:17:54.979
And it was as if he were telling us
00:17:55.198 --> 00:17:56.718
Okay, now we’re going to win
00:17:57.908 --> 00:17:58.973
We’re going to win this race!
00:17:59.378 --> 00:18:00.893
The horse came up and licked
my face
00:18:01.214 --> 00:18:02.553
I grabbed him by the muzzle
and brought him towards me
00:18:02.907 --> 00:18:02.907
We had a really bad time
00:18:03.002 --> 00:18:04.071
I insisted, Fidel
00:18:05.217 --> 00:18:06.898
We’re gonna win this race
00:18:08.184 --> 00:18:09.913
Because if we lost this one
00:18:13.175 --> 00:18:15.242
We were going to have problems
00:18:19.235 --> 00:18:21.148
Box, box, box
00:18:30.976 --> 00:18:31.840
It vibrated
00:18:32.163 --> 00:18:36.577
Yuka was a machine, you wouldn’t believe it
00:18:36.698 --> 00:18:39.052
Yuka, a real beast!
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.352
Come on, Che! Let’s go, Che!
00:18:41.352 --> 00:18:42.645
It’s your day, I told him!
00:18:42.957 --> 00:18:44.462
He ran so fast,
It scared me
00:18:44.841 --> 00:18:46.707
You wouldn’t believe me
If I told you
00:18:46.954 --> 00:18:48.787
Let’s go, Che!,
Let’s go, Che!
00:18:49.024 --> 00:18:51.793
Go for it
00:18:52.463 --> 00:18:54.352
Today is your day
00:18:57.302 --> 00:18:59.406
Look at how that horse runs!
00:19:00.018 --> 00:19:04.403
That little horse that can run
The Brazilians would say
00:19:04.554 --> 00:19:08.137
I would laugh at the Brazilians
00:19:08.505 --> 00:19:10.723
Fidel would say to them,
00:19:10.778 --> 00:19:12.306
You guys are garbage
00:19:13.222 --> 00:19:14.729
The caretaker has arrived!
00:19:15.250 --> 00:19:17.953
I rode up standing on my horse
00:19:18.792 --> 00:19:20.640
Do you remember?
00:19:21.164 --> 00:19:23.471
I was galloping standing on Che
00:19:25.037 --> 00:19:29.264
I have my picture standing up
Riding my horse
00:19:29.695 --> 00:19:35.206
I told them, THIS is
Che Negrito, idiots
00:19:36.499 --> 00:19:38.272
Come get me, kids
00:19:38.568 --> 00:19:39.797
You’ll never catch me
00:19:40.358 --> 00:19:43.193
I was so happy
00:19:44.655 --> 00:19:46.903
It was amazing, it surprised me
00:19:50.059 --> 00:19:51.992
Run that,
00:19:54.284 --> 00:19:56.273
Everything else was catching fire,
00:20:00.352 --> 00:20:04.670
The people said the horse
00:20:04.782 --> 00:20:06.200
Was useless
00:20:07.745 --> 00:20:12.331
Fidel was the one who made it happen
00:20:13.334 --> 00:20:14.104
He ran with the horse
00:20:14.104 --> 00:20:15.526
And we always won
00:20:38.718 --> 00:20:41.778
And how did Che get injured?
00:20:42.504 --> 00:20:44.312
We were headed back
00:20:44.312 --> 00:20:45.273
From that race we won
00:20:46.005 --> 00:20:49.006
We all got drunk
00:20:50.134 --> 00:20:52.174
When we got back from the competition
00:20:52.674 --> 00:20:55.883
7 kilometers away
00:20:55.883 --> 00:20:58.017
We realized
00:20:59.193 --> 00:21:02.411
A truck driver signaled us
00:21:04.187 --> 00:21:05.554
I looked over
00:21:06.409 --> 00:21:08.570
What a disaster
00:21:08.675 --> 00:21:10.004
I saw his hoof trapped
00:21:10.290 --> 00:21:11.763
In the trailer
00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:13.557
My God
00:21:21.493 --> 00:21:24.114
I kept telling Cantero
00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:36.742
I looked into Che’s eyes
00:21:36.742 --> 00:21:38.474
As he licked my face
00:21:38.749 --> 00:21:41.896
He rested his head
On my chest
00:21:42.245 --> 00:21:44.288
While he gave me kisses
00:21:44.288 --> 00:21:45.503
"You’re really hurt, boy"
00:21:45.644 --> 00:21:48.886
It seemed like he was crying and telling me
00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:50.461
As he was whinnying
00:21:50.461 --> 00:21:51.816
With a certain sadness he seemed to say,
00:21:51.933 --> 00:21:53.594
“This is the end.”
00:21:53.595 --> 00:21:56.071
"This is the end for me."
00:21:56.071 --> 00:21:58.790
I looked at him and told him,
00:21:59.023 --> 00:22:00.544
Don’t do this to me
00:22:00.663 --> 00:22:04.804
I’ve been through a lot for you
00:22:04.921 --> 00:22:08.396
I’ve been feeding you for six months,
buddy
00:22:08.896 --> 00:22:10.896
I put you in your stall,
You don’t lack for anything
00:22:12.630 --> 00:22:15.175
I’m sorry, dad
00:22:15.255 --> 00:22:16.768
Sometimes I cry a lot
00:22:16.844 --> 00:22:18.547
for my beautiful horse
00:22:50.594 --> 00:22:53.985
I don’t know what I would do
If he died
00:22:54.146 --> 00:22:55.964
After that accident
00:22:57.502 --> 00:23:01.893
When I took him out of the
trailer very hurt
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.554
Aquino asked me,
00:23:04.625 --> 00:23:06.265
"Why don’t you put that animal
out of his misery? ”
00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:10.185
I answered,
How would you feel?
00:23:10.930 --> 00:23:14.998
We all want to live in this world, Yuka
00:23:14.998 --> 00:23:17.998
Even paralyzed people want to
00:23:18.498 --> 00:23:21.129
He told me to kill him
00:23:21.629 --> 00:23:24.861
I told him, no! I’ll make him better,
He’s going to live!
00:23:25.155 --> 00:23:27.271
I’m going to work hard to make him better
00:23:27.335 --> 00:23:29.158
Negrito is going to make it
00:23:29.983 --> 00:23:32.655
He’ll race again
00:23:33.655 --> 00:23:36.185
Within 3 or 4 years, he’ll run again
00:23:36.185 --> 00:23:39.153
In 2 years he’ll go back to racing
00:24:00.513 --> 00:24:06.625
Right now Che needs medicine
00:24:06.650 --> 00:24:11.607
He got infected with worms
00:24:11.802 --> 00:24:15.396
Most of the time I don’t have curavichera
00:24:15.421 --> 00:24:18.097
Because there’s no money to buy it
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.097
Che is kind of fucked
00:24:25.097 --> 00:24:28.097
Sometimes it’s tough, man
00:25:20.295 --> 00:25:22.873
There’s a quarter of a chicken thigh here
00:25:23.107 --> 00:25:26.488
And Yuka’s eating it up!
00:25:56.412 --> 00:25:57.912
Have some cold water...
00:25:58.860 --> 00:26:02.398
Bring me another one grilled,
Pretty boy
00:26:48.397 --> 00:26:51.283
How much did the medicine
cost you?
00:28:25.007 --> 00:28:28.507
Someday I’ll have
my own family
00:28:31.939 --> 00:28:33.939
But it’s going to be a struggle
00:28:56.078 --> 00:28:58.698
I don’t know if I’ll leave my farm
00:28:59.198 --> 00:29:00.921
I’m not sure
00:29:00.921 --> 00:29:02.273
I’m also not sure if I’ll go
00:29:02.273 --> 00:29:06.878
I should make my own ranch
00:29:13.783 --> 00:29:16.462
There the gendarmerie surrounded us
00:29:17.206 --> 00:29:18.865
We put on a brave face
00:29:18.865 --> 00:29:20.531
In front of them
00:29:20.615 --> 00:29:22.655
There were a lot of us
In that community
00:29:33.197 --> 00:29:36.318
That’s how I got
00:29:37.061 --> 00:29:41.500
The land for my farm
00:29:50.875 --> 00:29:52.893
Those of the Alto Paraná
00:29:53.297 --> 00:29:55.493
They just want to plant pine trees here!
00:30:01.184 --> 00:30:02.745
The farm...
00:30:03.311 --> 00:30:05.413
Is my job
00:30:25.493 --> 00:30:27.739
This is for my horse
00:30:27.739 --> 00:30:31.091
With Erico we had a place there
00:30:31.797 --> 00:30:33.069
But the police showed up
00:30:33.069 --> 00:30:33.945
And they took away his land
00:30:34.595 --> 00:30:36.415
And they said it was because
00:30:36.553 --> 00:30:37.891
It was a place they could plant pines
00:30:37.891 --> 00:30:42.438
That’s how they took Erico’s land
00:30:44.040 --> 00:30:45.748
Those of the Alto Parana
00:30:46.439 --> 00:30:50.132
They came with the police and everything
00:31:01.193 --> 00:31:02.914
They told him it wasn’t
his lot
00:31:02.914 --> 00:31:04.139
And that he couldn’t build there
00:31:04.164 --> 00:31:05.986
Because it was a spot for pine trees
00:31:06.157 --> 00:31:09.625
That’s why Erico he came back here
00:31:22.111 --> 00:31:26.256
The pines only bring sadness
00:31:26.614 --> 00:31:27.744
There are no sounds
00:31:27.744 --> 00:31:29.563
Not a single bird sings
00:31:29.563 --> 00:31:30.870
Everyone is silent
00:31:32.063 --> 00:31:33.952
Because of the amount
Of pines there
00:31:33.977 --> 00:31:40.023
You can’t even hear the breeze
00:32:48.048 --> 00:32:50.479
Alright!
00:32:52.260 --> 00:32:54.443
Mark that dummy!
00:33:55.381 --> 00:34:00.361
Onion, onion, onion
Some onion, onion, onion
00:34:42.486 --> 00:34:44.686
Just take him the leaves
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:46.752
Come on, Fidel!
00:34:46.752 --> 00:34:48.983
Take him the leaves,
not that!
00:34:48.983 --> 00:34:50.259
For the crazy!
00:34:51.203 --> 00:34:53.724
I’ll bring him some water
00:34:54.071 --> 00:34:56.254
It’s okay, don’t take him anymore
00:35:19.877 --> 00:35:23.380
It’s going to be difficult to
Get out of this situation
00:35:23.381 --> 00:35:26.004
It’s awful with the rain
00:35:27.213 --> 00:35:28.561
without money
00:35:33.173 --> 00:35:37.931
It’s a disaster when it rains
00:35:39.064 --> 00:35:41.594
You can’t even pick up any grass
00:35:46.779 --> 00:35:48.772
The truth is, we’ve been through
a lot
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:50.130
With our horse
00:35:52.100 --> 00:35:54.748
The rain is horrible
00:35:57.051 --> 00:35:58.796
When it rains it’s not good here
00:39:30.425 --> 00:39:32.006
Son,
00:39:35.411 --> 00:39:36.758
Get out of here
00:41:39.803 --> 00:41:40.881
We’re done!
00:41:57.332 --> 00:41:58.627
Let’s go clean off!
00:42:00.066 --> 00:42:01.835
Throw me water, I’m going to shower
00:42:16.902 --> 00:42:17.727
Is it hot?
00:43:37.664 --> 00:43:41.539
Bring us a beer, please!
00:43:48.553 --> 00:43:52.207
¡Maradona!
00:47:50.099 --> 00:47:53.099
We had been through a lot
with our horse
00:47:53.099 --> 00:47:55.599
And Negrito died
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:58.599
We were in a tough spot
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:02.099
Our beautiful horse
Had just died
00:48:10.755 --> 00:48:12.517
Yuka had the most bitter part
00:48:16.641 --> 00:48:19.141
He worked nonstop
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:25.099
He made a huge sacrifice
00:48:25.457 --> 00:48:28.126
He was burned out
from so much work
00:48:53.503 --> 00:48:54.747
Buy me a drink
00:48:54.965 --> 00:48:58.965
You want a glass of wine?
00:48:59.149 --> 00:48:59.749
Yeah
00:49:05.121 --> 00:49:08.121
I told you one drink...but I
already had two
00:49:08.309 --> 00:49:11.309
Do you have to sit down or what?
00:49:11.606 --> 00:49:14.106
That’s how I worked when I was 6 years old
00:49:14.606 --> 00:49:19.356
I was already working with
the asada in my hand
00:49:19.854 --> 00:49:22.043
When you were just a little dumbass?
00:49:22.379 --> 00:49:23.495
I guess so
00:49:23.921 --> 00:49:25.289
And I didn’t want to work
00:49:25.532 --> 00:49:28.621
And my old man used to hit me
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:32.452
So with all of that I had to work
00:49:32.477 --> 00:49:35.477
My dad!
00:49:35.477 --> 00:49:38.477
And it’s fine,
It’s fine
00:49:38.661 --> 00:49:41.161
So I worked
00:49:41.893 --> 00:49:44.862
And from then on, I stopped
00:49:45.546 --> 00:49:47.882
Weeding all of that
00:49:48.530 --> 00:49:51.851
And from there I started taking care
Of horses, all that
00:49:58.080 --> 00:50:00.728
And now I’m well known
00:50:01.849 --> 00:50:04.090
I’m a renowned caretaker
00:50:06.746 --> 00:50:08.922
Well, I’m the ones who does the races
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:12.090
I take my mare
To the stable
00:50:12.153 --> 00:50:14.674
But I only take her out if
I’m going to win
00:50:14.674 --> 00:50:18.174
I’m not going to lose
00:50:18.174 --> 00:50:21.674
With my mare, I never lose
00:50:25.697 --> 00:50:26.923
That’s it girl, that’s it!
00:50:28.283 --> 00:50:29.447
Daughter
00:51:13.577 --> 00:51:15.445
My little mare
00:51:27.325 --> 00:51:32.255
I love you girl, I love you!
I love you, love you!
00:51:32.255 --> 00:51:35.605
We won! Us!
00:51:49.708 --> 00:51:50.116
Kuaty!
00:51:50.116 --> 00:51:52.088
Come quickly!
00:51:53.196 --> 00:51:55.109
Hurry!
00:51:55.546 --> 00:51:57.644
It’s like she hid
00:51:57.684 --> 00:52:00.292
I went to look for you twice!
00:52:03.530 --> 00:52:07.530
And I looked for you
00:52:07.530 --> 00:52:11.699
How beautiful!
00:52:13.161 --> 00:52:14.321
Tell Araujo
00:52:14.361 --> 00:52:15.597
I don’t know if it’s them
00:52:15.605 --> 00:52:17.407
That made the promise
00:52:19.433 --> 00:52:25.665
He will be in our favor,
if we are secconds.
00:52:28.009 --> 00:52:28.555
Quickly!
00:52:29.020 --> 00:52:30.102
If we're going to do it.
00:52:30.839 --> 00:52:31.955
Where’s your horse?
00:52:31.979 --> 00:52:32.593
Huh?
00:52:32.669 --> 00:52:33.388
Your horse?
00:52:33.613 --> 00:52:35.389
I’m working with her
00:53:01.638 --> 00:53:03.134
How many laps did she do already?
00:53:04.853 --> 00:53:07.013
She did three already
00:53:07.436 --> 00:53:09.728
Walk a little with him
00:53:38.338 --> 00:53:40.617
Hey Fidel
00:53:40.973 --> 00:53:42.088
What’s up?
00:53:42.088 --> 00:53:43.753
Your hat,
It looks like it fell off
00:54:20.248 --> 00:54:22.957
This strap is really tough to tighten
00:54:33.733 --> 00:54:36.353
Take this off of him
00:55:45.619 --> 00:55:50.217
Hold his side
00:55:52.717 --> 00:55:53.807
Okay
00:56:13.455 --> 00:56:15.207
How many meters?
00:56:15.628 --> 00:56:17.102
300
00:59:04.917 --> 00:59:08.402
Come on, black, run!
00:59:25.506 --> 00:59:28.795
Come on, black, run!
01:00:23.611 --> 01:00:25.201
His arm is broken
01:00:28.078 --> 01:00:30.469
- It broke right there, do you see it?
- I can see it
01:00:30.749 --> 01:00:32.070
He fell really badly
01:00:32.070 --> 01:00:33.912
It hurts a lot right here
01:00:34.858 --> 01:00:36.263
He got hit with the saddle
01:00:37.272 --> 01:00:39.018
Can you move your legs?
01:00:39.018 --> 01:00:39.999
Yes
01:00:44.611 --> 01:00:45.726
And your mare?
01:00:53.733 --> 01:00:55.809
Did she pass out?
01:01:04.825 --> 01:01:07.050
The arm,
It got dislocated
01:01:07.075 --> 01:01:08.674
That’s the only thing that hurts, Fidel?
01:01:08.699 --> 01:01:10.161
Where does it hurt, Fidel?
01:01:13.387 --> 01:01:14.487
Are you going to pick him up?
