Ferghana horses

Post by Cyrusthegreat »

Hi all, I'm soon to be in Uzbek, Kyrg and Tajik, doing a clockwise loop to and from Tashkent. Just wondering if there is anywhere in particular in the Ferghana Valley (or nearby) that is a good place to see Ferghana horses please?

Thank you very much

Ferghana horses are something from ancient Chinese history. The Akhal-Teke horse is believed to be a descendant of the original Ferghana horse, Wikipedia tells me.

Akhal-teke you need to find in Turkmenistan.
