Never anything else.
They're horrified at Western people who use metal spurs and metal to harm the horse in the stomach and to harm the head of a horse.
They say it's a capital crime.
I mean, I don't know anyone who's ever executed for it.
But you never, ever harm a horse's head.
So horses are...
important in every way, even religiously important with the making of the fermented horse's milk that the mother goes out every morning and she throws some to each of the four directions to start the day.
And they use it for every kind of thing.
But, you know, some things puzzled me that in my watching, I remember one day being with a very nice family.
It happened to be on a gelding day when they were out there gelding the
would-be stallions who don't get to be stallions, but this family, they had a bunch of boys, and I only think about one or two girls, like four or five boys.
And one boy was maybe 11 years old.
He fell from the horse.
You could see it, not so far away.
He fell from the horse.
He didn't get up.
No one moved.
In fact, they all kind of turned attention away.
And I thought, what am I supposed to say?
This boy fell down.
