This photo of a Turkmen equestrian made me think of Marloven Hess, so I thought I'd share. You can click through to get to the poster's Flickr account.

Very cool!

There's at least one more of this rider and her horse if you click through. They're all great!

[asakiyume]

This is the other one! (ETA: You can see it bigger if you click through)

Thanks. Wow, the strength and horse/rider trust required for that, not only balance....

(I love the woven straps around the horse's neck, too. Small detail but distinct.)

Yes--the details are especially lovely, as is her grace.

oh, and here's a third!
