The President of Turkmenistan congratulated all his compatriots on the occasion of the National Day of the Turkmen Horse

President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov has congratulated all his compatriots on the occasion of the National Day of the Turkmen Horse, which is celebrated at the state level with great pomp in honor of the glorious horses created on the basis of folk selection, which have found perfection through the talent of wise fathers and have made a worthy contribution to the development of world culture. This is reported by TDH. In his congratulatory message, the head of state noted the special importance of the role of winged horses in the life of the brave people, and that since ancient times, the heavenly horses, known worldwide as "heavenly horses", "Nisai horses", and "winged horses", are the national pride, pride, and valuable asset of the people. This is clearly reflected in such wise sayings as "A horse has wings", "A horse will be a horse, a horse is a legacy", "A horse is a statehood", and "A horse is a source of livelihood". "Our heavenly horses, considered the indelible heritage of our ancestors and one of the pioneers of world equestrian culture, are known for their uniqueness, beauty, humane character and loyalty to their owners. Accordingly, our state creates all conditions for the international development of horse breeding, Turkmen national horsemanship, equestrian sports in our ancestral homeland, and for the continuous improvement of the living conditions of horse lovers. The fact that the Galkynysh national equestrian troupe has repeatedly won the main and special prizes at international circus festivals further increases our people's pride in our horses. During this year, which has been declared "Independent, Eternal Neutral Turkmenistan - the Homeland of the Horse-Ball Horse-Myrad", it is planned to hold a number of events in the field of equestrian sports in our country and abroad in accordance with the Program of Events to be held in the field of equestrian sports. These events will give a great impetus to further popularize the fame of our Akhal-Teke horses around the world," the Congratulatory Message of the President of Turkmenistan states. At the end of his congratulatory message, the Head of State once again sincerely congratulated the Turkmen Horse National Day, which is widely celebrated in the year of the 35th anniversary of Turkmenistan's sacred independence, and wished all the Turkmen people good health, long life, family well-being, and great success in their work to further develop and improve the art of Turkmen horse breeding.
