Cirit - Jereed

 Salvete Omnes,

let us gallop with a javelin in hand - Turkish-Persian style.

 First, a note on Cirit aka Jereed from XIX century -
'Jereed is a short lance, having a blunted head, when used in sport, but sharpened for warlike purpose; it is one of the most favorite amusements, both in Persia and Turkey. A good description of exercise will be found in Mr Morrier's 'Ayesha.''
