Manned Cheetah coursing Blackbuck on YouTube
There is a short (6 minute) clip on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NevenDIp95A taken from the Craighead brothers' 1939 movie "Life With an Indian Prince" that shows trained cheetah coursing blackbuck antelope. To me this is unbelievably cool, and the only film footage I have ever seen of this.

Enjoy.

Thank you for posting the link to this outstanding footage of a sport that I had only read about and never expected to see or experience. The photography is outstanding given the fact that it was filmed 70 years ago.
