In this paper, equestrian competitions among the Turkmen of the Turkmen-Sahara region, which are considered a cultural-sports phenomenon for them, and the hidden meanings that these competitions and betting around these competitions have for the people of this tribe have been studied. Clifford Geertz's hermeneutic interpretation method has been used to study this cultural phenomenon. Geertz mentions two methods of surface description and deep description in ethnography. Accordingly, the work of the ethnographer is not only to provide a report on cultural phenomena, and this part is only a superficial interpretation, but the main work of the ethnographer is that in addition to this ethnographic report, he should provide a deeper description of these phenomena and their meanings for that people, which is a personal interpretation. He is an ethnographer who mentions it under the title of hermeneutic interpretation. In this article, after explaining the concept of hermeneutics, Geertz's interpretive approach is discussed. In the following, relying on Geertz's interpretive approach, first an ethnographic report of this competition and its margins is presented, and then in the second stage, a deeper description of this phenomenon is given from the authors' point of view. The observations and interpretations of the authors indicate that keeping a horse for Turkmens today does not only mean their relationship with horses and riding, but also indicates financial wealth and social status for them. In addition, betting does not only have a material dimension for people, but also shows their expertise and skill in knowing horses and their power of prediction, which can bring them a social position among horse and horse lovers. In addition, these people learn honesty and integrity by keeping their promises in betting without documents and receipts.
