Neza bazi, also known as tent-pegging, is a time-honoured Pakistani pastime now enjoying a surge in popularity in the UK

Played on horseback, the sport involves galloping at full speed and using a long spear to pick up wood or plastic pegs that have been hammered into the ground. The pegs get progressively smaller with each round and the ultimate victor is the last rider standing.

Megan took these photos at an event, held on a sunny Sunday. In Dewsbury, West, Yorkshire, where teams from the north of England, Birmingham and London fielded more than 100 riders.
