The Home of Horse Riding

A horse is galloping across the steppe at sunset. There are few sights more breathtaking than this. Horses make us think of speed, beauty and freedom, but for Kazakh people, they are also a symbol of their culture and history. It was in Kazakhstan that people first rode horses, over 5,500 years ago.

Since then, until very recently, horses were an important part of almost every Kazakh's life, and the most valuable things people owned were often the saddles of their horses. For the nomads of the steppe, these animals provided transport, food and drink, and were the best way to hunt and fight. People also used them to play sports. The most famous of these is probably kokpar, which people still play today.

These days, many young Kazakhs are still taking up horse riding. Some even practise other traditional skills, such as archery on horseback. Horse riding holidays are becoming popular with tourists too, and they travel from around the world to visit Kazakhstan – the birthplace of horse riding.
