Team members prepare their horses before the Bury Championship Neza Bazi event in Unsworth, near Bury, northern England on June 28, 2026. Neza Bazi, also known as tent pegging, sees riders on horseback use a lance or sword to strike and pick up small targets from the ground whilst at full gallop. The sport is believed to have originated in the Indian subcontinent during the Middle Ages. It is one of only ten equestrian sports officially recognised by the International Equestrian Federation.
