Mongolian cowboys at Bayan-Agt, Bulgan province, arrive to celebrate to 90th anniversary as a Soum (community district). They celebrate the weekend with the traditional Nadam Games. Three key events, wrestling & archery both appear to fill the time while spectators wait for the main event, the horse race. Boys between the ages of 7 & 15 race 20 kilometres across the pastures & the rolling hills of Bulgan province, many riding bare back with no helmets and no shoes.
