Horse Racing

Horse races are held
each year in the grasslands in northern Tibet and some farming
and livestock breeding areas.

Horse-man-ship
|
This includes shooting
and picking up a hada prayer scarf from the ground on galloping
horseback.

Archery

This is very popular
in Mainling, Medog and Zayu. Some arrows bear several holes.
When shot into the sky, they give off a sound, hence the nickname
of "whistling arrows."

This is held during the
Ongkor (Bumper Harvest) Festival each August.
