Dawn slips through pine and tamarisk as riders mount at the edge of Alara Valley, the horses’ breath fogging in the cool air. The trail threads through mixed forest and scrub, then drops to the Ulugüney Stream where, for a brief, invigorating moment, the horse will step into the current and the water will nudge both rider and mount forward. It’s a ride of contrasts: the slow, rhythmic walk under the canopy and the sudden sparkle of water on leather.
