A woman's crowning glory is her hair; many a woman would be proud of tresses Uke these. 



But the horse possesses other attributes than beauty, strength or speed. The essence of wild 

 savagery is manifest in these fighting stallions. Nor is this the only surprising feature of the 

 horse. Who would expect it to produce milk, even as the humble cow does? Yet the Kirghiz 

 tribesmen of Central Asia milk their mares daily and from the fermented liquid make an 

 alcoholic drink known as kumiss. Equally surprising is the fact that horses are not always 

 simple grass-eaters. In the region of the Persian Gulf, for example, dates and fish are common 

 fare for them, while the Tanghan horses of Tibet are often given pig's blood and raw liver.
