The record was set by Yernar Zhasuzak from the Top Zhargan National Art Center. He rode 2,000 meters standing on two horses at a speed of 60 km/h, an Orda.kz correspondent reports.
The feat was entered into the Global Book of Records that same day.
The record-setting performance took place during the Grand Equestrian Exhibition, which showcased about 50 horses.
This is our fourth exhibition. We organize it to introduce people to this field. But honestly, I just enjoy it. And from what I can tell, people enjoy it too. We introduce people to horses, show their aesthetics and beauty, and instill a love for these animals. said Talgat Zhaisanbayev, executive director of the hippodrome.








The exhibition featured Kazakh and other horse breeds, including Akhal-Teke, Arabian, English, sport, heavyweight, exotic, and pony breeds. Arabian and pony horses were least represented, since almost all of those had already been sold to Mongolia.
In addition to the exhibition, traditional horse races were held, with competitions across seven categories.




During breaks between races, stunt riders from the Top Zhargan team entertained the audience.
While galloping, they performed dangerous stunts, flipped upside down, picked up objects from the ground, and shot arrows at targets.
