the oyatsch village

On Saturday I went visiting the "oyatsch" village near UB.
Oyatsch are the people training the horses for the nadaam races.

In this village everybody is working with horses !

Mongolian horses of course!
Not so big but very resistant and quick!

This is me :-) with the horses, but I didn't want to ride them, I fell terrible to do it with so many expert people there!

This is the saddle that they use, quite old made with wood, but looks nice!  

This is the person that we were visiting, he just received a prize for the best oyatsch in his region, which is eastern Mongolia.
I particularly like his deel!!!!

And that was so nice to see all these small kids training.
Because here that's the kids that are ridding horses, no adults  are making the race.

And look at this one, so small, but already on a horse, a real Mongolian!!!!
