Jereed (also jerreed, jerid, or jerrid; Turkish: Cirit aka Çavgan) is a traditional Turkish equestrian team sport played outdoors on horseback in which the objective is to score points by throwing a blunt wooden javelin at opposing team's horsemen. Jereed is a means of improving equestrian skills, and involves two teams of horsemen, each armed with dried oak or poplar sticks. The sticks with rubber-tipped, blunt ends are 70-100 cm in length and 2-3 cm in diameter. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jereed
