Oksus

The Horse Race A young goat is killed, its innards are removed and replaced with wet sand to weigh the goat down. The horses have already been manoeuvred off the ancient trucks, the engines are silent, the riders have saddled up. The flat land stretches for miles between mountain ridges. The sun burns, the Bakshi casts no shadow and has fallen silent. Upon the referee’s signal, one of the riders grabs the dead goat. The objective of the game is to drop the goat into a circle drawn on the ground. A hundred riders are fighting for the trophy, man against man; the carcass is heavy, you need both arms to drag it and heave it. The rider braces his whole body against its dead weight. The game resembles an equestrian battle, the riders are cracking whips loaded with lead weights, wearing Russian tank drivers’ helmets, American camouflage and heavy cowboy boots. And it’s a game without rules. And behind the mountain ridges lies Afghanistan.
