Episode 12 - From Tamerlan to Prince William: Equestrian Sports in Central Asia

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!
