a herder

Herder, outside of Zuun Mod, July 1999.

A herder on horseback. A traditional pose, but note the non-traditional outfit. The long pole he is holding is called an uurga, which is basically a lasso at the end of a pole, used for catching horses. Unfortunately, the loop at the end is cut off in this picture. (It is the only picture of my own that I can find with an uurga in it.
