Official tourist offices will offer you a 2-3-day horseback ride for $1,500. Instead, it's better to visit popular destinations (e.g. Kaindy Lake, Kolsai Lake), where locals will offer a single horseback ride for $12-15. A full day would cost around $60-100, but not $1,500.

I've never heard of a Kazakh horse name beginning with 'Tolga...', even though there are many names beginning with T. This prompted me to learn more about the names of Kazakh horses. Right now, the only one that comes to mind is Tolaghai (Толағай), a human character from a fairy tale. Photo is 👍
