This film about Louise Firouz (1933-2008) was made in 2002 during a trip to Jargalan, near the border with Turkmenistan. Louise describes the horses in her stud. This footage is unique and now edited for the first time, throws new light on the different types of Turkman horses and the relationship they have with the thoroughbred. She mentions the Akhal, the Yomud, the Goklan and the Nokhorli. A description of their characteristics can be found on the website www.museumofthehorse.org
