prize is Boz At . A fantastic 3-year old wild horse which was recently been saddled and tamed. All young men and women, skilled in horseback riding and shooting, came from all over the area to participate. Each tribe had their own hopefuls and Nabi and Hajar were their families' pride.
Each and every one of the participants wished to be the winner and be able to own and ride Boz-At. The contest began, each horseman must be able to shoot while riding a fast moving horse. Out of the big number of aspirants only fifteen remained for the second lap. The third lap saw only eight remainders and for the final lap only Nabi and Hajar remained, a one-on-one encounter.
For the final lap, the contestants should try to balance himself on one side of the horse and try to shoot in that position. The audience was crying from excitement, the 2-minute interval before the final lap seemed to last forever. The ladies were cheering Hajar and acclaiming her for her skill. They were giving her points on how to shoot straight without missing the target. Hoping deeply that she wins and proud that a girl has this chance of winning. At last, gender equality in the Shahsavan tribe proved well and produced women warriors that can stand side by side with men or even better than them in skill.
The Khan's son could not take his eyes off Hajar. He is a married man but seeing Hajar and admiring her prowess brought out the sparks of love in his eyes. Not knowing that Hajar's heart already belonged to Nabi, he tried to conceive a plan for her to be his.
The final lap started and a wild ram was released as a target. First, it was Hajar's turn to shoot at the fast moving target but missed. Nabi, on the other hand expertly aimed and brought it down with only one shot. He won! Everybody applauded, "Hail Nabi, our hero…the greatest marksman!"
