Horses are a huge part of local culture. In the past, they played a critical role in wealth, transportation in these hills, shepherding, and providing food and milk. Now, thanks to modern day advances, they’re not used as much in this capacity but they are still celebrated. Every year there is a large festival that will feature horses, riding, and other performances. We weren’t able to attend the actual festival this year but was able to attend a pre-festival in our village. What fun! The yound lady below is our employee.
