Tolubai synchy / kyrgyz legend
Tolubay is a legendary figure said to have lived in the 14th–15th centuries during a harsh era of khans. Renowned as both a thinker and a horse lover, he was more than an ordinary man: among nomads he was known as a "synchronous" evaluator — an expert who could accurately assess a horse’s quality, natural traits, and its bond with its owner. His reputation and skills were rooted in the nomadic way of life.
