The story behind our hand drawn Chaar logo, by the talented nature inspired artist Alice Shirley. Alice is a valued member of the association and a world renowned artist from the UK.

My story with the spotted horse began in 2008, when I received an offer from a British TV company to star in the series 80 Deals Around the World. According to the script, I had to sell some horses, which were supposed to be resold in China. However, due to the quarantine and lack of permits, it was decided to resell the horses in the Uzgen market in south Kyrgyzstan.

The nomadic way of life of the Kyrgyz and animal husbandry required great independence from women. The well-being of the family directly depended on the number of livestock and on the ability to process and preserve livestock products in time.
