B. Buz-kasha Player THE WINNER!
A game played on horseback throughout the Middle East and Asia Minor
that involves two teams and gaining possession of a dead goat.
The tack consists of a saddle blanket-saddle pad combination, saddle,
bridle, and neck amulet. The saddle blanket is hand-sewn and
hand-embroidered. The saddle pad is hand-sewn and edged with decorative
trim. The saddle is similar to a Turkoman-style gooseneck saddle. It was
built on a handmade metal saddletree, additionally shaped with wire and
leather, and covered with dark brown fabric. The girth is black elastic
with a fancy trim girth cover and hook-and-eye closures. The adjustable
stirrup straps are made from brown satin ribbon. The stirrups are the cast
English type from Rio Rondo.
The bridle is sewn from leather with
jewelry-findings hardware and decorations. Reins and throat-tie are
braided embroidery thread; lead-rope is good quality string. The neck
amulet is sewn from brown satin ribbon and adorned with jewelry findings.
This tack set fits a small traditional scale horse the best.
The rider is a reissued MEGO-style action figure. He is wearing tan
slacks, black socks, brown shoes, a yellow inner shirt, a tan outer shirt
with a fancy trim waist wrap, a striped robe, and a tan headwrap-cap. He
carries a whip because the game can become quite violent and anything goes.
A documentation sheet is included.

H. Marwari Native headstall
This is an ethnic headstall, worn over an English bridle, with a variety of bits. It is made out of embroidery floss over hemp cord, sealed with Fray-Check to be sure it doesn't unravel with use. The frontspiece is a triangle of lace with an embroidery floss fringe, sewn through three strands at a time, knotted and sealed with Fray Check. The strands are left long so the headstall can fit other models. They can be trimmed.
