Countryside. Part 3. Horses.


Today we decided to visit the horse breeder - Semen...
According to a legend of yakuts horse is a holy animal from the heaven...
Yakutian horses endure winter perfectly... They have dense and long hair covering, in winter the length of it can reach 10 centimeters, and also have thick skin and subcutaneous fat layer...They graze year-round in herds without any protection from the extreme weather conditions, and they dig out grass under the snow by hooves...



















Horse breeder's special house in the forest...

Yakutian horses are for horseback riding and also they give meat and milk... People use their fur and mane for sewing warm clothes...
Especially meat of young horse is very tasty and soft...
