The ancient nomads have a game called Alaman, which is played on horseback. It is very similar to the game "Kok-boru" - "goat running", and the same ancient, popular equestrian sport game among the Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Uzbeks and other peoples of Asia. The goal of the game “Alaman” is to master the carcass by taking it from the crowd of rivals and throwing it in front of the “owner”, that is, in front of the organizers of the game.
