With the subdued tinkle of many small bells, the train of horses enters, led by a dark-haired woman mounted upon a dark dapple grey stallion. She leads 6 mares, two trailing small foals, with a pack-donkey and a young colt at the rear. Finding a clear space, she dismounts nimbly, tethering the horses, supplying each with a handful of feed. She moves to detatch the colt from the train, leading the excited dapple grey forward. In a loud, clear voice, she cries her wares.
"Turkmene colt for sale! Superb breeding! Sire is Esinti," As she mentions the name, she motions towards the dapple stud upon whom she had ridden in. "Dam is Eda!" This time, her hand indicates a sleek chestnut mare. "Lovely build, nice paces, good for breeding and riding stallion! Any takers?"
The 2 year old's ears flick as he observes the passers by, shifting his weight slightly around the lead.
