Popular game similar to polo. The riders have to take a goat or more usually a cow claf carcass rid with it around a flag and come back to drop it in a circle. No teams no rules. It is very violent but exciting. I nearly got trampled a couple times taking pictures and last week I got crushed against a barrier by several horses. Hope you like the shots (more in my photos)
Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as "most favorited"
