  • Throwing the goat skin with panache is a challenge to all other riders after winning an individual match in Kokpar also known as Bushkashi at the annual Eagle Hunting Festival, Bayan Olgi, Mongolia, Oct 6, 2003.  Kokpar requires a combination of strength, courage, and horsemanship skills.  This traditional game has come back since the Soviet withdrawal from the region.  The Kazakhs of Mongolia play one on one, with 10 men on each team.  When a rider loses his grip on the goat or falls off his horse he has to join the opposing team.  Eventually one team has all the riders on its side and is the winner.  Kokpar or Bushkashi is also played in a ruby style in other parts of Central Asia including Kazakhstan.  Hundreds of riders may line up on each side, and then mayhem prevails as they all rush to grab the goat.
