Many of the wild horses in the region are captured and trained to be ridden.
They can also be used as a source of food, either through their meat or their milk.
But looking beyond their usefulness to mankind, the horses are a hugely important cultural symbol.
Horse breeding has been a dominant industry in the Asian Xinjiang province for many years, especially among nomadic tribes.
Just like the people that are born under their zodiac sign, the wild horses of the region are free-spirited and energetic.
Their love for freedom is unmatched.
Watching them gallop across the open plain really exemplifies the incredible beauty that these amazing creatures are known for.
Even if you don’t believe in things such as astrology…
…it’s hard not to be proud to be born in a year that has these majestic creatures as an ambassador.
What do you think?
