Foal branding ceremony
Mongols have a tradition to tether their foals in on the Tiger day at the beginning of summer and to set the mares and foals free of their halter and hobbles on a Dog Day in autumn and to celebrate the feast of “Foal branding”. In order to perform this ceremony a fire is set in the vicinity of the tethering-line and an iron brand is made red hot in it. Each foal is then branded, after which the brand is dipped into a pail of fermented mare’s milk. The pail is brought into the ger to be served. Accordingly, the libation with airag (mare’s fermented milk) is made for the sky, mountains and water. Thereafter, the feast for the “Custom of foal branding” continues according to established rules.

Sepak Raga
'Sepak Raga' is a traditional game played in the Malay states and neighbouring coutries. 'Sepak' is Malay for "kick" and 'Raga' is the ‘rattan ball’ used in the game. Traditionally, sepak raga was played by forming circle to kick, shoulder or head a rattan ball to the opposing players much like the current Volleyball drills.\nThe Objective was for the players to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible. The game can played as a team, group, or even solo.\nLater in 1945, the net was introduced and the game it is played today came into being. The first official competition with the net and new rules was held at a Swim Club of Penang on May 16, 1945. It was the called Sepak Raga Jaring or Snwith reference to the addition of the net. Sepak raga jarring spread quickly throughout the rest of the Malay Peninsula and South East Asia. In 1965, The South East Asia Peninsular Games Committee eventually agreed that the sport would be known as "Sepak Takraw". Takraw is the ‘woven ball’ in Thai.\nFor Sepak Takraw, two opposing teams of three players each play the game, each team is permitted to hit the ball three times before it must cross the net, rather like in Volleyball. The difference is that it can be hit three times by some player.\nKicking is the most crucial factor in deciding the outcome of the game, a fluid overhead acrobatic kick to smash the ball.
