00:07What is our most interesting road?
00:11We have to take a lot of fruits and plant seeds to get out of the stomach.
00:17We have to keep our plants growing, and we are learning more about them.
00:21We can grow our plants, because we look at the plants.
00:31In a country of vast distances and dramatically different landscapes, horses continue to connect
00:37people, traditions and places.
00:39Our journey begins near Tashkent.
00:43Pola is gaining ground in Uzbekistan.
00:45With the recent launch of the Pola Federation in Uzbekistan, the country is beginning to
00:49develop this traditional equestrian sport and attract a new generation of players.
00:54Known centuries ago as Tashkent, Pola was once played by rulers and warriors across Central
00:59Asia.
01:01In this region, we have one base.
01:04Functionally, these bases are the ones that teach young people.
01:08You can come from any wish, without a sense of use, to teach this game.
01:26For Shakhnoza Sharipova, national team rider, the bond with a horse begins long before entering
01:32the field.
01:49Our journey now takes us south to Surkhandaria, where horses remain closely linked to local
01:55traditions.
02:01Here, the focus is on preserving one of Uzbekistan's best-known horse breeds, the Korabayer.
02:32Shakhnoza Sharipa Khan-Ibrahimová discovered riding just a year ago.
02:52From the foot hills of southern Uzbekistan, our journey continues more than a thousand
02:58kilometers northwest to Karagal, Pakistan.
03:00The landscape changes dramatically.
03:02Snow-covered steps stretch to the horizon, where winter winds test both horses and riders.
03:08In this west region, horses have long helped people adapt to life on the step.
03:13Horses have long been part of daily life on these steps.
03:17Today, traditional riding skills meet modern stables and riding arenas.
03:29Here, the bond between horses and riders remains as strong as ever.
03:38The bond between horses and riders is the most important thing.
03:44The bond between horses and riders are the same.
03:50It's a very important thing.
03:51We have three other horses.
03:52We have three horses.
03:53We have the same horses.
03:59We have the same horses.
04:02and sport.
04:03All the horses and horses,
04:06at the same time,
04:07the horses and horses.
04:11Choosing the right horse is often one of the first lessons young riders learn.
04:21The horses are young horses.
04:23There are English horses,
04:25Turkish horses,
04:27German horses.
04:29All the horses,
04:30all the horses.
04:32The horses are young.
04:34They are strong.
04:40From Tashkent to Suruhandaria
04:42and the snow-covered steps of Karakal Pakistan,
04:45our journey has revealed many different sides
04:47of Uzbekistan's horse culture.
04:58That's incredible.
04:58Do you find understatement?
04:59Madness.
04:59The Red-Parkabad.
