It's the popular central Asian sport of 'goat polo'. The goal is to grab the carcass of a headless goat, get it clear of the other players then pitch it across a goal line. It's fiercely competitive and a spectacular sight as skilled riders battle to grab the goat carcass at full gallop.
Then it's on to the traditional game of 'kiss the girl' (kyz kumai) - a male rider chases a female on a faster horse and tries to steal a high-speed kiss. If the girl outraces her suitor, she gets to chase after and whip him.
He didn't catch me!!!! But then he disappeared before I got my own back!
It didn't stop him trying to kiss me when we came back to truck!
