Horse Games, Horse Sports Qatar Museum Authority, Qatar Olympics & Sports Museum (QOSM), Doha, Qatar November, 2010
An exhibition covering the broad range from traditional horse games and sports with horses in the oriental world to high-tech performances at Olympics and other international equestrian festivals has never been staged before. Horse games and sports have a long lasting tradition in the East, which may explain the strong bond between man and horse in this part of the world. The oriental polo game was played nearly 2600 years ago and remained popular in this part of the world, from which it expanded first to the East after the 16th century CE and spread to the whole Oriental world. Other horse games like the djerid, the qabaq or the fantasia always had been connected to the skilfulness of horse and rider. In the wide central Asian steppes various trapping games had been played like kĂśkbĂźri or baiga/buzkashi. Some of these games are still being played to this day or have been revived again. They are complimented by modern equestrian disciplines like show jumping, eventing, dressage and endurance, which have surpassed the traditional games in popularity. This exhibition is highlighting the old horse races and games tradition in the East to understand the enthusiasm and engagement for modern Olympic horse sports.
