... are amazing!
The parade rolls by as people in traditional dress, representing the different Kyrgyz tribal regions, expertly guide their proud horses through the streets. One even stopped for the obligatory shot of his horse rearing up on its hind legs, said rider sitting comfortably as if enjoying his Sunday morning paper and coffee.
There are even showcase Buzkashi matches, a seemingly brutal polo-esk game in which riders fight over a headless goat ...
