I had the unique experience of joining in with milking the horses.
The nomads keep foals tied to a long rope fixed to two stakes on the ground. At milking time, they detach a foal and lead it to its mother, allowing it to drink briefly before starting the milking process. My guide, Buyna, was the one doing the milking.
Unlike milking cows, which involves sitting on a milking stool, milking horses requires a fabric knee pad for kneeling on the ground.
