Day 6
Goat Polo
July 2, 2019 in Kyrgyzstan ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
A traditional Kyrgyz sport played on horseback, where a beheaded goat is used. The goal is to pick up the goat and carry it to the opposing goal. Horses are specially trained for this. The third pic shows the goat and gives a sense of the size of the animal. It is played regularly, with formal leagues and inter-village competition. The sport is even included in the nomad Olympics every couple years. And, no, I had never heard of those Olympics either.Read more
