She first got into the saddle at the age of six, and for the past two years, she has been actively participating in the national game of kok-boru.
Ayköl shared that her passion is connected to her family. “My father — Baktybek Bakirovich Beishekov and my mother — Nurgul Emilevna Osmonova always support us and help us develop in what interests us. Since my father is engaged in livestock breeding and keeps horses, I mastered the saddle at six, and the horse became my loyal friend. My father and brother play kok-boru, and I often went with them to the games and gradually became interested myself. That’s how I started participating in village games, most often playing the role of a defender alongside my brother. I have been playing kok-boru for about two years now. I have my own horse named 'Vostok,' who is 4 years old. I used to play volleyball,” says the young rider.
According to her, she continues to learn by observing more experienced players. “I try to learn from their experience — how they manage the horse, what tactics they use, how they perform the role of a defender,” Ayköl shared.
