What is Jereed?
'''Jereed''' ({{lang-tr|Cirit}}) is a traditional [[Turkey|Turkish]] [[Equestrianism|equestrian]] team [[sport]] in which the aim is to score points by throwing a blunt [[wood]]en [[spear]] at the opposing team's riders. It was played by the [[Turkic peoples]] of [[Central Asia]] as the main sport and [[ceremony|ceremonial]] game, and was brought to [[Anatolia]] during the westward migration in the early 11th century. Today, cirit is mainly practiced in eastern Turkey and much liked by the [[Turkish people]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.turkishculture.org/lifestyles/turkish-culture-portal/cirit/the-traditional-game-329.htm | title=The Traditional Game of Cirit }}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Equestrian sports]] [[Category:Sport in Turkey]] {{multistub|sport|Asia}}
