Girl Chase
According to legend,long age there
were two Kazak tribal chiefs who
were going to become related by
marriage of their children. The
groom's father asked his son to
ride a swift horse to welcome
the bride, while the bride's
father also asked her to ride a
fast horse to chase the groom. The bride's father said that if the groom
could not catch up with his daughter, the wedding date would be changed.
The groom did overtake the bride, but she asked groom to ride ahead of
her so she could chase him. So, instead of of the groom chasing the
bride he was being chased.
Most of the participants in the game are young and it is not merely a
game for them to express their admiration and love but also to exhibit
horsemanship. Now,"girl chase" has grown to be an interesting mass
sport.
