Horses are a large part of Kyrgyz culture and so every year national horse games are held. These include ulak tartysh (’grey wolf’) where two teams of riders fight it out over a goat carcass and kyz-kumay (’kiss the girl’), where the male rider has to catch up to horsewoman in order to receive his prize, a kiss.
