Munarbek Kuldanbai: The foaling season is in full swing, It's a magical moment that's challenging to convey in words.

May 16

This spring has provided us with numerous advantages. Ample rains have nourished the grass on the lower pastures of Tyan Shan mountains, enabling the horses to gain weight rapidly. The foaling season of our indigenous chaar horses is in full swing, and each visit to pasture brings with it an exciting anticipation of seeing the newborn foals. It's a magical moment that's challenging to convey in words.

meantime herds will remain on the lower pasture until June. Typically, at the end of May, in Ketmen Tobo valley, we experience a week of stormy weather, and the higher pastures become blanketed in snow. This unpredictable and treacherous moment demands extreme caution, as horses left on those slopes risk sliding down and suffering fatal injuries. Sadly, we learned this lesson in 2021 when we lost 10 horses.

Since that tragic experience, we've become exceedingly vigilant, keeping the horses on the lower pasture until the beginning of June, despite their annoyance with flies.

Meanwhile, our local team is diligently preparing for the upcoming winter of 2025.

For the upcoming season, we are planning to purchase 15 tonnes of barley and 1500 bales of dried grass. this amount of fodder will help us to keep our herds in pens during the nights and protects them from wolves attacks.

Our estimated budget for the coming year is 40,000 euros, which will be allocated to purchasing fodder, veterinary care, annual wages for horsemen , restoring old pens, building new ones, and acquiring a lorry for horse and forage transportation. I believe, with support of each of you, as usual we will be able to reach our goals to continiue suistanable kyrgyz chaar horse revival breeding program.

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for being with us and supporting our efforts over the years. What we're doing is incredibly important, and together, regardless of where you reside on this planet, we are a formidable force.
