A Old Lady Rides Horse At Song Kul Lake In Kyrgyzstan Editorial Image

This photo was taken in Song kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan. The Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan offers many possibilities for excellent horse riding holidays. The culture is very much focused on horse and horsemanship, thus riding holidays come naturally to the fore as an excellent way to explore the high mountains of this land locked country. Kyrgyzstan's neighbours are Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Along with Turkey, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan these 6 countries make up the Turkic States. Horses are a very important part of the Kyrgyz culture and tradition. Originally from Siberia, the nomadic Kyrgyz tribe were essentially dependent on cattle.
