Isindy – an equestrian fight in Georgia. Two teams of 6 or more equestrians armed with a rubber end spear – isindy participate. An equestrian sorted out by lots must cross the penalty line of the rival team (15m of them), strike a man or horse with his spear, turn around a flag and get back. The challenged player rushes in pursuit trying to strike a challenger with his spear on the same terms. During the game all the players in turn become the challengers and the pursuers. A team prevails if it has more strikes and less penalties.
