The other day, in Zhaosu County or the Kazakh Autonomous Region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, horses could be seen galloping across the snow-covered plain. The People's Daily writes about this.

The snow, rising from the movement of the hooves, filled the entire space, and a fascinating picture was formed.

Horse racing has a long history among the people of Zhaosu County.

In recent years, more and more traditional equestrian events and performances have been held here.

And "horses galloping on snow-covered ground" are the most popular sight among tourists in winter.

And here is another story told the other day by SWNS TV channel. She is more dramatic, but still optimistic. A man from Inner Mongolia, China, did his best to save a pregnant horse that was stuck in a deep hole in the snow.

He found the horse lying lifeless, unable to find the strength to get out of it. The rescuer couldn't handle it alone and called his friends, eventually they used a loader with a rope to pull the horse out of the pit.

A touching video shown by the TV channel shows a successful rescue, after which the horse did not seem to suffer from this ordeal.

On social media, viewers noted that in the video, before the horse left the scene, she looked back at her rescuers and shook her head, which looked like an expression of gratitude.
