The game of bozkashi has very simple rules. Bozkashi means pull the goat and is played by two teams or one-on-one. Sometimes there are as many as 30 horses at a time. The goal is to grab the goats body (dead from before) and ride around a flagged point far away and return to put it down in the start circle.

The best riders and horses are found in the north and the game is played during spring and autumn.
