Kazakh Women Rise Above the Plains

MANY people have become familiar with the Kazakh people by watching the sport of "girl chasing" performed on the vast grasslands. A handsome young Kazakh man and a beautiful Kazakh girl ride on horseback. The man speeds past while the woman chases him. If the woman catches up to the man, she can lash him lightly with the whip in her hand. The scene is set off by the brilliant blue sky and white clouds.
