Horse Games

There are three horse games that are played in parts of Central Asia.
Tyiyn Emmei - the horse rider attempts to pick up objects on the ground while riding at full gallop
Kurosh - essentially wrestling on horseback
Utak Tartysh - kind of like polo, but using a 50 lb. goat carcass to be dropped in the opponent's goal
