Turkmen djigits in the “Circus Legends”
The Ashgabat Circus opened a new season, presenting the audience with a new program, the main performer of which was the group of national equestrian games "Galkynysh", known not only in Turkmenistan but also far beyond it. The riders of this art group the other day also became the heroes of the "Circus Legends" program broadcast on the Russian "Zvezda" TV channel, led by Edgar Zapashny.
The basis of a very interesting TV program was numbers presented by Turkmen riders during the festival in the northern Melpomene of the Russian Federation.
The Russian trainer who has seen it all, however, was amazed and genuinely delighted not only by the difficult and unique, but also extremely dangerous tricks of Turkmen jigits, the indescribable beauty of Ahalteke horses and the inner spiritual connection that exists between man and horse.
People's Artist of the Russian Federation Edgar Zapashny, spoiled for viewing the best circus in the world, throughout the whole show did not hide his admiration for the skill of Turkmen dzhigits, capable of "surprising the most demanding audience again and again."
Edgar Zapashny, who came to the festival by train, was extremely surprised that the horses, the patron of which is the president of Turkmenistan himself, arrived in St. Petersburg on Boeing.
