Horse for Sale!

Male horses go for about $1000, depending on their age. Female horses cost more, as they can provide foals and milk for kumis, the national drink.

About this place:

Every Sunday morning from 5:00am to 10:00am, people from all over north-eastern Kyrgyzstan flock to Karakol with their livestock to participate in the Karakol Animal Bazaar. The bazaar is filled with sheep, cows, goats, horses and hagglers, and it is quite a site to see.
