How to shoe a horse....Xinjiang 2000

How to shoe a horse....Xinjiang 2000
In 2000 I travelled by public buses and trains across the Gobi and Taklamakan Deserts in China to Kashgar in Xinjiang. This is where now the Chinese are committing grave human rights violations against the Turkic Muslim Uighur peoples..the original inhabitants of this area.
I was fortunate enough to witness some of the traditional life and customs of these Uighur people in this ancient mudbrick Silk Road city, now, I believe, mostly demolished..
I travelled then by bus over the Pamir and Karakoram mountains ( the Roof of the World) to far North Pakistan where I spent quite some time.
This is scanned from an old photo...not brilliant quality, but interesting as a cultural artefact of a vanished custom.

Der Hufschmied bei der Arbeit und der Wille des Pferdes wird durch die Fesseln untgerdrückt, Jutta. In den letzten Jahren sind es wohl die Uiguren denen Zwangsmittel angelegt werden. Die Freiheit istvein kostbares Gut.
Freundliche Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende
