BUZKASHI

The history of Buzkashi dates back to ancient times, and the name of this sport means "killing goats," which is taken from the hunting of mountain goats by horse heroes.

Buzkashi began among the nomadic Asian tribes who came from farther north and east spreading westward from China and Mongolia between the 10th and 15th centuries in a centuries-long series of migrations that ended only in the 1930s. From Scythian times until recent decades, Buzkashi has remained a legacy of that bygone era.
