American cowboys are competing in a unique sport that involves riding horses and handling a headless goat carcass. The sport, known as Kok-Boru, is part of the World Nomad Games. Riders on horseback converge on a small area, elbowing and kicking each other, while trying to grab the 70-pound goat carcass and gallop towards a goal.
USA team captain Ladd Howell has been participating in the event, using a whip to help him grab the goat. The competition has been intense, with players colliding with each other's horses and trying to snatch the goat away. Further details about the sport and the World Nomad Games are available from the source.
