Parents asked the esteemed and revered man to conduct the tradition. A person released his right leg from the stirrup on the top of the horse, after which the baby, wrapped in diapers, was brought to him from the right side and carried under the buttonhole of the stirrup. The ceremony was ending with blessings from the owner of the horse. After the child had grown up, parents told him under whose stirrup he was carried out.
