Kazakh folk games

The specific attitude of steppe people to horses has generated a love for horse games. Such Kazakh games are countless and each djigit (male) deems it his duty to take part in at least one kind of horse sport.

“Alaman baiga”, the long and super long distance race, is one of the oldest and most popular types of competitions. It is associated with nomadism, the need to train horses for long journeys, especially in wartime, or in hijacking the heds of enemies as well as to improve the breeds of horses. “Alaman baiga” was the main part of major folk festivals or … funerals (as). Competitions were held in the steppe, on a straight road, full of natural obstacles, without limiting the number of horses and breeds. During “Alaman baiga” horses notwithstanding the long – distance fell dead, and some with broken legs laid in the road with their riders.

On the other hand, Kazakhs were aware of malefice, hence “they do not show race horses, keep them under horse-cloth and the manes and tails are plaited, attaching owl feathers and a talisman in different places to protect from evil malefice”. Boys between the ages of 8-14 years were chosen as the riders.

There is also simply “baiga”. This took place on a flat area on the line, with turns or on a closed circle. To participate in it one could have an ordinary ragged horse.

“ Kyz-kuu”.Among the shows particularly popular among Kazakh youth was the riding game “ Kyz-kuu” ( catch a girl). The game has been with us since the time of the Saks. According to custom Djigit claiming the hand and heart of a girl, caught his bride on a spanker horse. During the folk festival youth rode horses, galloping in the field. On a sign, the girl flicks the horse and rips away from her betrothed at full gallop.

“Zhorga zharys”.Kazakh horsewomen participated in “zhorga zharys” – competing on pacers. These horses have special footsteps, a softness and rhythm in their walking and running. During competitions pacers should not enter a normal race – violation of this rule is punished with a fine or exclusion from a race.

“Kokpar”.One of the favorite games, without which there was no celebration and mass entertainment, was “kokpar” – the struggle of riders for a goat carcass. “kokpar-kokbori” means “gray wolf” in Kazakh. For nomads, the wolf was a bitter enemy, and if anyone was able to kill one, he had to present its head it to the genearch and to give the carcass to pull it to pieces. This day became a kind of holiday – everyone tried to carry the killed animal. But a wolf was not caught on every occasion so sometimes the animal was replaced by a headless goat carcass.
