«The Shagdi Constellation» will shine at «Hipposphere 2024»
The interregional Society of Circassian Horsemen «Shyu Khase» will traditionally present the Kabardian horse breed at «Hipposphere 2024».
One of the most important events expected by representatives of «Shyu Khase» is the ring of Kabardian horses «The Shagdi Constellation». The interregional society’s horses will be presented to the general public, and their riders will dress up in national costumes.
«This is the fifth time we have visited you, and we hope for excellent results in «The Shagdi Constellation». Let me remind you that we were vice-champions in 2021, and we expect to win this time, as well», said Albert Thapshokov, Chairman of «Shyu Khase».
This time, the society takes nine animals to St. Petersburg. The Kabardian horse was bred to become a riding warhorse for Kabardians. Horses of this breed have strong physique, good health, and excellent endurance. They recover quickly after physical exertion, easily acclimatize and perfectly adapt to the current conditions. Due to this, herds of Kabardian horses can be kept in the open air all year round. Because of its advantages, the Kabardian breed became very popular in the 16th century, to become a legend in Western Asia and Eastern Europe. This breed is good for amateur horse riding and equestrian tourism, especially in the mountains.
«Our exposition will also feature products of folk artists, saddlers», informed Albert Thapshokov.
Besides, the folk dance ensemble will organize several performances.
