I don't know if Fox Wong you already invited to join our Steppenreiter Festival in Germany on 1. / 2. September this year. I really would appreciate if you guys could come over since the Korean group will visit us with a group of ten. China shouldn't miss the opportunity. On the two day event we will compete according the Korean rules on the first day and on the second according the German which are quite similar to the Hungarian rules. Mogu and Qabaq will be a part of our plays and of course the fire theatre show during night time which is an important part since long during our events over here.

On a two day tournament with members from 9 nations, the most far away our korean friends from Sokcho, Poland, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Slowakia, Austria and Germany, we spent a wonderful atmosphere and competed according the korean and hungarian styles, played mogu und admired a fantastic kyudo show.

On Saturday evening we had our traditional fire performance theatre, telling the story of a death journey of a shaman.

The photos are great and it looks like everyone had a good time.

Did anyone try shooting at the ball pulled behind the horse from the horse pulling it? I am sure I read about that in Arab Archery. It sounded difficult. I guess you would have to release when the ball bounced up in the air.
