Episode 12 - From Tamerlan to Prince William: Equestrian Sports in Central Asia
Update: 2025-08-31
Description
First time in English! We talked with Sarvar, Vice President of Uzbekistan‘s Polo Federation, about the deep roots of horse culture in Central Asia — where a horse isn’t just transport, but tradition, pride, and identity.
We explore how polo made its way from Central Asia to India and eventually to British royalty. Sarvar also shares how Uzbekistan is bringing the sport back, using local horses and even hosting matches on the beach .
We also dive into Kopkari, a traditional horseback game still played today, and how it compares to modern polo.
Whether you're into history, sports, or just here for the horses - this one is for the horse girls and boys!
