[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Buzkashi is famous sport played in Afghanistan. Buzkashi is two words BUZ & KASHI. In dari BUZ means goat & KASHI means pulling (KASH=PULL).

Its like polo, players are on the horse. The kept the goat (of course a dead goat) on a distance and the players of diffrent team pick the goat. Both players try to pull and take the goat from the oppsite team to show his power and take to his area.

I think its natinoal game of fghanistan but I am not sure.

I like this photo very much Muhammad. The composition is very good and the action is well captured.
I have prepared also a workshop which is a reinterpretation of the action. I hope you will like it.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Mohammad, i saw that sport on film Rambo III. It's a good photo.
Here in Argentina we have a national game call "pato" (duck) is the same rules but with a ball with four handles.
