Nomads were not only cattle breeders but also excellent warriors and hunters. While hunting young nomads were acquiring skills that were necessary in the battles with the enemy.
Salburyn is how ancient nomads used to call hunting on horses with dogs. This is truly a national heritage that our ancestors-nomads left us. The name meant games, competitions that developed strength and dexterity. Therefore, even after many centuries, salburyn not only survived, but also became one of the main types of ethnic sports.
