Tynybek is an essential part of the company’s operations, serving as the trusted horse provider for their tours. He lives in the village of Kyzart, a region renowned for its equestrian culture, and owns a stable full of strong, well-trained horses that are perfect for mountain riding. Tynybek is a true expert when it comes to horses, having spent much of his life in close connection with these magnificent animals.
In his younger years, Tynybek was a captain and leader in the traditional Kyrgyz game of Kok-Boru (a competitive sport similar to polo, but played with a goat carcass instead of a ball). His experience as a leader of this high-intensity game gave him a deep understanding of horse care, training, and handling, skills that he now uses to ensure that the horses in his stable are in peak condition for the company’s tours. Whether it’s keeping them fit for the rugged mountain terrain or ensuring their temperaments are well-suited for long rides, Tynybek is meticulous in maintaining the health and strength of each horse.
Although Tynybek no longer competes in Kok-Boru, he still holds a respected position in the sport. He spends much of his time caring for his horses and sharing his wisdom with young players. His advice is highly valued, especially for those looking to improve their skills in Kok-Boru, as his experience as a leader and captain gives him a deep insight into the strategies, horsemanship, and teamwork required for the game. Tynybek’s commitment to the well-being of his horses and his expertise in equestrian practices make him an invaluable asset to the company. His love for horses, along with his experience and dedication to the traditional culture of Kyrgyzstan, ensures that visitors have a safe, enjoyable, and authentic horseback riding experience in the stunning Kyrgyz mountains. Whether he’s providing the right horse for a trek or offering advice to the next generation of Kok-Boru players, Tynybek is a key figure in preserving and sharing Kyrgyzstan’s rich equestrian traditions.
