En Selle — The Kyrgyz Ride
Synopsis
Fascinated by the mysteries of the Silk Road, Ashley departs for Kyrgyzstan with a dream: one of galloping across the mythic steppes of Central Asia. Kyrgyzstan is the natural choice for this adventure. This land, the cradle of horsemanship, draws travellers in with its beauty and nomadic peoples. Accompanied by her partner Quentin, they meet three Kyrgyz stallions, Fidel, Tian and Chai, with whom they’ll share the road to their final destination: Karakol, in the far east of the country, 1000 miles away. Alone, faced with the immensity of the steppe, the team must navigate high-altitude mountain passes, snow, deserts, and rivers to accomplish their expedition. They give us a peek into an ancestral way of seeing the world: one where a group of humans and horses discover a timeless land together.
