B/W of Afghani horsemen playing their traditional game of Buskashi. Afghanistan

Afghans playing the national sport of Buzkashi. Buzkashi literally translated means "goat killing" and suggests it was derived from hunting mountain goats on horseback. The rider or team who is able to pitch a dead calf or goat across a goal line first wins. The game may last as long as a week on pitch sometimes several miles long. Afghanistan
