Description


Ulak is a traditional Central Asian team competition played on horseback. 

Usually Ulak is held in spring or autumn, when the Central Asian peoples traditionally celebrate weddings, as well as during the main spring holiday, Navruz. Often Ulak game involves brave riders from neighboring regions.

Ulak competitors line up and wait until a village elder or other respected person leaves the animal carcass in the center of the circle and signals the start of the competition.

Then the horsemen try to grab the lamb or goat from the ground and reach the finish line without losing their trophy, while fighting off rivals who are trying to take away the animal carcass. The winner, who carries the trophy into a finish line first, gets a prize. In the old days it was a colorful rug, bulls, sheep and goats, expensive fabrics. Nowadyas, the prize for the Ulak winner may be, for example, expensive appliances or a car.
