CHINA-INNER MONGOLIA-HULUN BUIR-HERDSMEN-HORSE RACING (CN)

(231222) -- HULUN BUIR, Dec. 22, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Two horse trailers set off from Erdendalai's home and head for the horse racing venue of the Nadam fair in Hulun Buir, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Dec. 17, 2023. Winter usually means challenges for herdsmen living on the grasslands. Severe cold and snow always affect their daily life. But for Erdendalai, a herdsman living in Hulun Buir, winter is still a busy season. In addition to taking care of more than 200 heads of cattle, sheep and horses he owns, Erdendalai also enjoys an important activity of horse racing. Horses have always been a reliable means of transportation and an indispensable partner in the life of herdsmen in Hulun Buir. Erdendalai was once an excellent horse racer, with medals and trophies all over his home. As years gone by, he became a horse trainer and took on an 17-year-old apprentice Nairag. This winter, Nairag and his schoolmate Ijil signed up to participate in the 20th Ice and Snow Nadam fair of the Inne
