I am a white horse.
on this 4.5 billion years old blue planet
The animal without nationality are human's friends.
In this big planet family, we live with dignity same with all the other lifes
As bright as starlight
I am a Uzhumchin white horse.
my home is in Uzhumchin prairie in Inner Mongolia
in a sense,Mongolian and Mongolian horses have cultural interdependence
As long as the Mongols step onto horseback
they will full of dreams and desire
the Mongolian with their horses,the pain and oppression will blow in the wind
only remain joy and courage
my hometown west Uzhumchin praire is
located in east of the Mongolian Plateau
southwest of Daxinganling
the high Mountains blocks monsoon from the Pacific
formed in arid, semi-arid continental climate
a total area of 22,132 square kilometers
it is said that Chingis Khan sacrificed with 81 white horses' milk
on Altai Mountain to protect the soldiers who would go out to battle
our Uzhumchin tribe migrate from Altai Mountain to here
we brought the 81 white horses of Chingis Khan
this is the origin of Uzhumchin white horses
after he established the Great Mongol Empire
he sacrificed with 100,000 horses
and 81 white horses with 81 gifts to God
prayed for the peace for his people and land
my master Mongolian advocate white color
they treat white horses as symbol of power and wisdom
the Uzhumchin people enjoy the 81 white horses' milk left by the Great Khan
so it is said that Uzhumchin horse became white horses
horse is a very smart animal
I had a lovely white horse before
in the Spring of 1992
there was a snow strom
in the evening I noticed the sheep were gone
I went to look for them with my brother
wind was blowing and it was dark
we could not find them for a long time
it was so cold that we returned to our horses
we were on one white horse
he towarded southwest
but I thought my home was in southeast
so I pulled him to go southeast
but we arrived northeast of my house
then we noticed we were totally wrong
then I let him go as he wanted
the white horse took us home directly
Mongolian horses are big family with long history
they have been lived on Mongolian Prairie for 10,000 years
at that time it was called Dahi in Mongolian instead of Mongolian horse
we carried the Mongolian from the ancient to today
since the Mongolian horses affinited with the Mongolian
their life style,character,aesthetic,values, culture all have changed
and the Nomadic civilization was characterized by taking good use of horses
Mongolian horses are the most close friend of Mongolian
when the Mongolian across Eurasia
Mongolian horses should be contributed
Mongolian's culture,economy,life is inseparable with horses
People all say Mongolian are horse-back nation
they spent their two third time of life on horseback
now they can't spend their one third on horseback
as a descendant of horseback nation
we should attach importance to Mongolian horse
genetic resources conservation and research
especially Uzhumchin white horses
as a white horse,I am lucky and proud
it is not only I am a Uzhumchin white horse
from the one of the favorite six stallions of Tangtaizong
to the white horse went to the west to Buddhist sutras
many nations have own white horse stories
Uzhumchin white horses have something to proud of

anti-cold,fatten faster and good disease resistance
and gregariousness
the foal of white horses
its not totally white
it turned into white slowly
white stallion black mare
can have white foal as well
this foal is black when it was born
as black as coal
in fall,it will turn into brown after moult
the second year,will turn into iron blue
will slightly turn into white when it is two
when it is three,it will look white overall
but there is iron blue if you look carefully
from four to six,it will turn into white totally
from the moment I came into this planet
I saw all kinds of different color horses
they are mainly white and iron blue
has five different types:dominant white,gray,buckskin,palomino,cremello
I am the type of cremello
I appreciate this piece of unusual grassland
meanwhile I can feel the love from Mongolian
during Sep.-Nov. 2011,Livestock Improvement Station of Inner Mongolia
Shililgol Livestock workstation,West Uzhumchin Livestock workstation
Bayinhushu county,Jirilgol county,Bayinhua county
according to PRC Mongolian Horse national standard
selected 50 stallions and 212 mares among Uzhumchin white horses
randomly measured mean height and weight
compared with Avag black horses and Ushen horses
white is the most pure color
because all the life grow up with drinking white milk
in Mongolian thought,white is the most pure color
every nation has its own faith
in the ancient when people met the white horses
they could not cut the horses
you had to take a detour or wait
the mane and tail of white horses
were used to make Chagan Suld( White Ensign)
Avag black horses,Ushen horses,Heshigten iron hoof horses
and Uzhumchin white horses
are seen as famous four types of Mongolian horses in Inner Mongolia
white horse are used in special event such as sacrifice
the other difference of Uzhumchin white horse
we are also racing horses
on television,when we watch the International horse racing
why we can't find white horses?
because white horse has a special gene called lethal gene
it comes from its parents
it will appear in a certain time
the white horse will die
so the horse racing all around the world
don't allowed the white horse to attend
but our Uzhumchin white horses are different
Uzhumchin white horses don't have lethal gene
in the grassland,there will be all kinds of horse racing in three seasons except Spring
if there is white horse,no doubt it is Uzhumchin white horse
in the category of world horses,Uzhumchin horses are included
according to my research,there are four different types of white
we can't tell the difference with eyes
but their genes are different
now Uzhumchin white horses become superstars in this land
got all sorts of attention
the scientist research us from a scientific point of view
we are happy to dedicate everything to people love us
when people treat us tender like this
I will have a sincere appreciation
people not only take from us,but also respect us
wether from grassland or other place
the tourists like to drink white horse's koumiss
and take some home
I am planning to supply more white horse's koumiss to the tourist spots
and the tourist also like to take pictures with white horses
overall,white horses increase local economic efficiency more than other horses
in 2011,at the biggest tourist spot of the county
the herdsman who let the tourist ride white horse over 50
income of per horse three months can reach 10,000RMB
in 2003, ride once,the fee is 30RMB,it belonged to the owner
later the tourists grew so much that the government take regulatory
30 RMB,the tourist manager takes 10,the guide takes 10,and the owner takes 10
even this,the owner still can earn 10,000RMB per horse each year
(white horse Militia, July 1965)
the attention and research on Uzhumchin white horses started from 1950s
now Uzhumchin white horses distributed in West Uzhumchin banner
East Uzhumchin banner and Shilinhot
through investigation there are 4958 Uzhumchin white horses till 2011 June
I think we can use cooperative to unify the ranch
to breed Uzhumchin white horse on it,will have bright future
we should market operate them
especially cultural aspects
such as Chinggis Khan sacrificed with 99 white horses milk
we can establish Uzhumchin white horse culture industry
I believe this is very attractive to people all around the world
Today my generation attribute to the development of grassland,Mongolian culture and biodiversity
when the sun rise,I am freely flying on beautiful Uzhumchin land
I am the white horse on the Uzhumchin grassland
