Two riders mount their horses and face each other at a starting signal within a marked open area.

Each rider grabs hold of the other's clothing, belt, or arm, while continuing to guide their own horse with their knees and free hand.

Riders pull, twist, and lean against each other, trying to unbalance their opponent while staying mounted themselves.

A rider wins the bout by pulling the opponent completely off their horse and onto the ground.

If neither rider is unseated within an agreed time limit, judges may declare the match a draw or extend the contest.

Winners often continue on to face the next challenger in an elimination-style contest at larger gatherings.
