Fine horses are said to be the eyes of the Mongolian prairie and they symbolize the spirit of Mongolian people. The most spectacular event on the grassland is the Nadamu Games held each year in August. The Games are an important occasion for the Mongolian men to exhibit their ability and skills in archery, wrestling and horse racing.

Wrestling is a prime sport at the Games. Wearing tight vests, loose trousers and boots, hundreds of wrestlers come not only to compete for the championship, a life long honor, but also to help in the development of their courage, temperament and spirit. Originating at the beginning of 13th century, the Nadamu celebration has become more enjoyable and useful by incorporating songa2anda2dance performances.
