EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless tradition of horse training in the historic city of Kashgar, located in western China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The image, taken in the 1930s by renowned photographer Ralph Ponsonby Watts, depicts three local men intently training a horse in a dusty, sun-soaked environment. The men, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, are seen circling the horse, using long ropes to guide and control its movements. The horse, with its powerful build and determined expression, appears focused and engaged in the training process. The scene is set against a backdrop of sandy terrain, adding to the sense of aridity and isolation. The use of a circular training method, which has been practiced in Central Asia for centuries, is evident in the photograph. This method not only helps to improve the horse's agility and obedience but also strengthens the bond between the horse and its rider. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Kashgar, a city that has long been a melting pot of various ethnic groups and traditions. The image is a testament to the enduring relationship between humans and horses, a bond that has been forged through centuries of mutual reliance and respect. Ralph Ponsonby Watts, a British photographer, captured this moment in history, providing us with a valuable record of a bygone era. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural traditions and the role that photography plays in documenting history.
