Day of the Horse 2012

May 06, 2012

This trip was my third to Turkmenistan and the second time I was lucky enough to celebrate their "Day of the Horse", the holiday of the Turkmen racer. The Turkmen Atlary were our gracious hosts and showed off their amazing horses in many different competitions, including halter contests, jumping, endurance and of course horse racing.
