TITLE: Perfect balance at full gallop

Mongolian eagle hunters are Kazakhs who have migrated to the western Mongolian mountains and maintain their tradition of horsemanship and hunting with golden eagles. The annual Golden Eagle Festival has many contests to showcase their tradition, including picking up coin bags at full gallop which demand great horsemanship, bravery and balancing skills.
