The national sport of Kyrgyzstan is called Kok Boru (aka dead goat polo or Buzkashi) and highlights the skill of their riders as they wrestle for control of a headless and footless dead goat, often grabbing the poor animal’s heavy carcass from the ground, one handed, whilst on the gallop. It is a rather brutal sport that is, in various forms, played in numerous countries from Afghanistan to Mongolia by Central Asia’s formidable horsemen.
