This Sunday I spent a great time
in company of horse breeders from Karachaevo-Csherkessia.
We were together at the
informal conference in the picturesque place called
Honey waterfalls.
In the old days, before people
built this tiny spa resort,
bees lived in the
rock holes, behind the water.
A pool with mountain
trout from the nearby river
We shall see horses of a rare Caucasian
breed “karachaevskaya” – named after people living in the area
from the stud farm belonging
to
Hasan Salgaparov (on

This is a very beautiful scenery
on both sides of road to his farm, on the big green plateau, 70 km from Honey waterfalls.
The yellow flowers on the photo
are Caucasian Azalea, filling with fragrance the air.
The pictures below had been
taken during the 1st National Horse Fair.
This fair is not only beautiful
horses’ demonstration and sales.
It is a national holiday with dancers dressed
in their folk clothes
The most exciting part of the
fair is ‘dzhigitovka’ – the national art of riding with body tricks.
There are so many talented people
everywhere!
Let modest appearance not to
deceive you
Hasan Salgaparov,
a talented businessperson
and owner of hundreds of beautiful horses.
