The holiday "Horse Day" took place in the Arsky district.
In Arsk, the equestrian sports festival "Horse Day" took place. Events were organized in the square and at the racetrack, while part of the competitions traditionally took place in the village of Novy Kurlai. The head of the Arsk municipal district, Almaz Khisametdinov, welcomed the participants and guests of the festival. He noted that for the Tatar people, the horse has always been an integral part of life. "The Tatar people have always lived alongside horses, worked with them, and fed themselves thanks to them. Therefore, our task is to honor and glorify the horse. The organization of this holiday was entrusted to the Arsk district, and for many years we have been successfully organizing the 'Horse Day' festival. We hope that it will continue to attract a large number of guests and become a truly beloved national holiday," said Khisametdinov. Last year, the festival took place entirely in Novy Kurlai. This year, the official part was held in Arsk, while races at distances of 40, 80, 120, and 160 kilometers, as before, were organized in Novy Kurlai. Athletes from Moscow and the Moscow region, Stavropol Krai, Nizhny Novgorod and Penza regions, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Udmurtia, and the Mari El Republic are participating in the competitions. The festival program also features national equestrian wrestling "Audarysh," the "Best Crew" competition, wrestling competitions, as well as pony races and races for two-year-old horses. The Minister of Agriculture and Food of Tatarstan, Marat Zyabbarov, emphasized that the festival is held to develop and popularize horse breeding in the republic. "This holiday did not appear by chance. By the order of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, significant work is being done in the region to develop and popularize horse breeding. We plan to double the horse population," Zyabbarov stated. Kamila Bilalova Photo: © Kamila Bilalova / "Tatar-inform"
