Yesterday I visited a horse stable in Mazar. The horses were being kept for use in "Buzkashai." It's a traditional and dangerous Central Asian sport in which men on horseback fight over a goat carcass and attempt to carry it over a goal line. The owner of the horses told me that when they are successful in a match one horse could earn him five or ten thousand dollars. The kid in the pictures worked at the stable. He was cool.
