So many interesting things to see during our walk through the bazaar in Firuzabad, Iran.

In and around Firuzabad, one can see (the Ghashghai) women wearing long, full skirts with a chador over it. Some are of extremely fancy materials while others are simpler. Of course, one can also see the younger women dressed in more fitted jackets and skinny jeans etc. Examples of these various types of clothing can be seen in the series below. I've also included a local barber shop image :-)

Have a pleasant day and thanks for the visit.

After seeing the Equestrian and Acrobatic Performance (in Edmonton) of, "Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse", in which I thought I recognized a Jaff Horse, I decided to delve once again into my recent Iran Archives and post this new series of a Kurdish herder training his Jaff horse.

PS They are all candid shots and the "training" ones (mostly cropped here) are from a long way away :-)

Jaff Horses

Descendents from the small wild horse which inh[a]bited persia during the freeze epic, then migrated to the warmer part of the South, to west Iran, and to Zagros mountains and the Province of Kirmanshah.When climate changed, some returned North, while others remained in the South, bre[e]ding new and different types of new characteristics. An outstanding breed moved to the warm Caspian areas, of which the existing one in this area is of that descen[t]. The Jaff horses belong to this breed, and then developed its own characteristics. Examining The Jaff horse we can observe the following features: Graceful neck, slim and fine arched; A mane and tail of uniquely fine and silky hair; nostrils which are large and low, set in a small muzzle; short and slightly concave back; a high set tail, large prominent almond shaped eyes. Limbs that are characteristically slender; a natural floating action; great endurance.This breed is the shortest of the European type and bigger than the Arab breed. It can be said that The Jaff horse embodies the beauty of the Arab horse, and the endurance of the European horse. Original colours : Almond, gray, and yellowish[-brown].
