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 dod overtake the bride, but sge 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. |
