Jereed
traditional Turkish equestrian team sport
Jereed (Turkish: Cirit) is a traditional Turkish equestrian team sport in which the aim is to score points by throwing a blunt wooden spear at the opposing team's riders. It was played by the Turkic peoples of Central Asia as the main sport and ceremonial game, and was brought to Anatolia during the westward migration in the early 11th century. Today, cirit is mainly practiced in eastern Turkey and much liked by the Turkish people.[1]
