Sacred Horses


Sacred Horses - The Memoirs of a Turkmen Cowboy
Jonathan Maslow, 1994, fine hardcover in fine dustjacket. 342 pgs.

One man’s journey to Turkmenestan to see and ride the rare Akhal Teke horse, before the break-up of the Soviet Union. Highly entertaining – Turkemestan has few amenities and Maslow has to navigate the local KGB at every turn. For a rather recent publication, this is quite scarce.
