British Pakistanis find fraternity in cavalry sport of tent pegging
Also known as neza bazi, the centuries-old pastime is becoming increasingly popular in the UK.
A remote field in Bradford rumbles as a rider, resplendent in a crisp white shalwar kameez, pistachio-coloured waistcoat, turban and fan billowing upwards like peacock feathers, gallops on his horse towards a peg hammered into the ground. As the rider thunders closer to his target he lowers a long lance, impaling the peg seconds later with a jubilant roar. "Four points, clap!" a commentator cries in Urdu.
Teams across the country - all from the Pakistani diaspora - have gathered to compete at a national competition for neza bazi, or tent pegging. It is a centuries-old cavalry sport renowned across south Asia that is becoming increasingly popular in the UK.
Bradford East MP IMRAN HUSSAIN delivers a speech ahead of the prize giving . Competitors from tent-pegging clubs around England take part in the ancient cavalry sport , in a field on the outskirts of Bradford . The game involves charging on horseback with a sharpened lance towards a planted wooden peg with the intention of piercing and lifting the peg from the ground whilst maintaining a full gallop.

British Pakistanis find fraternity in cavalry sport of tent pegging
Also known as neza bazi, the centuries-old pastime is becoming increasingly popular in the UK.
A remote field in Bradford rumbles as a rider, resplendent in a crisp white shalwar kameez, pistachio-coloured waistcoat, turban and fan billowing upwards like peacock feathers, gallops on his horse towards a peg hammered into the ground. As the rider thunders closer to his target he lowers a long lance, impaling the peg seconds later with a jubilant roar. "Four points, clap!" a commentator cries in Urdu.
Teams across the country - all from the Pakistani diaspora - have gathered to compete at a national competition for neza bazi, or tent pegging. It is a centuries-old cavalry sport renowned across south Asia that is becoming increasingly popular in the UK.
Competitors successfully spear pegs in a doubles round . Competitors from tent-pegging clubs around England take part in the ancient cavalry sport , in a field on the outskirts of Bradford . The game involves charging on horseback with a sharpened lance towards a planted wooden peg with the intention of piercing and lifting the peg from the ground whilst maintaining a full gallop.
