See the heart of a pasture with a drinker and chaban's cabin
In the search of Ybykty our group turned wrong from the road to the trail, where we found, unexpectedly, a new spot of our adventure. We were promised to show us horses, and now this wish is completed!
Here we have a mid-size tabún (herd on turkic) of ~50 specimen. That was enough to impress us.
Now to the core of this pasture!

Chabán (kz. Shopán) is a turkic word for shepherd. In this region (and, I guess, in the whole Kazakhstan) they are employed from rural youngsters. Nowadays they're driving motorcycle to guard a herd.
