one in my lane that's doing what I'm doing I'm bar dealing the king and I make chair I wrap [Music] trail ride is basically our culture is basically what we love to do it's really a lifestyle if you not hear the witnesses then you wouldn't understand back in the days of people before my grandfather used to saddle up a mule a donkey backpacking through the woods and they made a trail well we don't have woods no more so we ride up and down the streets two by two in the line representing the trail riding riding trucks bringing mother ride horses get on the party wagon it'd probably be four hours probably be five our numbers vary into the thousands we have our own community we have our own little world no you got your blues and you got to zydeco it's a Cajun style of music that come from Louisiana that's played by a band or accordion a rubber board lead guitar some people use keyboards growing up as a young kid I was always on a horse trail riding so what I did was I interpret all that into my music like I knew he wasn't raised right got a taste of this country girl homie went right right when I started rapping that was really no rap allowed on trail ride I came in and I wanted to change that trying to break the bear for young people to enjoy true right because I was a youngster out there on the trail ride but you had a hobby such as trail riding it'll pull you away from the street I know because it's a lot of people that trail ride that used to sell drugs and used to you know do a lot of stuff that wasn't right and now they've come to trail ride and they love my music [Music] [Applause] it means that I make it just for the culture I represent this for the trail riders just for the zydeco artists just for everything that we do country I really feel like I had something to do with the changing of the face of chair [Music] most people when they think of a jockey you think of a mouse jockey people who don't think women can be drivers and educated obviously we're proving ourselves I've become the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup it took 150 years for a woman to finally win [Music] my name is Michelle Payne and I am a truckie and horse trainer the horse racing has been part of our family before I was born my dad was a jockey and a horse trainer and my older brothers and sisters all followed in his footsteps I was very lucky growing up with the family where it wasn't ever suggested that female jockeys couldn't be as good as the male jockeys and I think that really helped me the loeben copies the race that stops the nation it's such a huge event in Australia as a jockey it's what we all aim towards from as young as four or five years old it was basically my dream to become a jockey and to win the Melbourne Cup so I felt very privileged to have them the first female jockey to win [Music] it was a moment of disbelief it was a moment of years of training and dreaming of winning our greatest race in Australia it was an amazing feeling I think the racing industry is great because men and women compete equally and there's no separation between one or the other in the generation coming through we've got a lot more female apprentices and I think that's fantastic what I'd say it's young children who would like to be a jockey don't let people say you can't because obviously it is possible that for me has been the most important part of winning the Melbourne Cup showing and proving to young girls coming through and current jockeys that it is possible [Music] [Music] the marshy region in the South of France is
