Wednesday, 19 July.  A little rain. The Chinngas Khaan Statue is as large as it seems.  Stairs take you to the top of the horse’s head.  Build about 9 years ago.  Nice museum in the base.  It’s intended to be the centerpiece of an amusement park, but 2008’s economic slump put a hold on it.

Horse breeding farm is primarily about producing fermented mare’s milk.  It tasted okay.  The process is simplicity itself, though the milking can be tedious. A mare won’t give milk unless her foal is nearby.  The farm is just a family affair.  When the kids are at school (boarding house), the husband/wife have to do it all.

Because of the rain we didn’t get to erect a ger.  Instead we watched an award winning documentary movie “The Eagle Huntress”.  Fascinating.
