Cavalieri che si cimentano nel “mas-wrestling” o kok-boru (conosciuto anche come buskashì). Uno sport per pochi, una sorta di polo contestato per la sua violenza, che vede due squadre a cavallo contendersi il controllo di una carcassa di capra decapitata. In lingua kirghisa kok-boru significa "lupo blu" e deriva dall'usanza dei pastori di giocare con i lupi uccisi prima di riportarli al villaggio. È uno sport aggressivo e sfinente, con molto contatto fisico tra cavalli e cavalieri, nei Paesi di questa regione molto radicato tra la gente. Questi giochi a cavallo svolgono un ruolo di vitale importanza nella tradizione kirghisa. In passato, lo scopo principale di questi giochi era insegnare ai bambini a cavalcare in modo professionale. workshop fotografico Kirghizistan di settembre 2019

STRATOSFERICA IMAGE, CONGRATULATIONS.
Sastrate that an image like this didn't take 'Editor's Pick.

THANK YOU JOHN
fora are a little out of place here Consider that I'm a professional and that here mostly enthusiasts who have slightly different tastes...
