Blacksmiths making horse shoes in exactly the same location as they were 3000years ago! Osh was one of those places to stop after China , a cross roads , I suppose it still is. Instead of a horse market which has a 3K history they now have in exactly the same way a motorcar market !! One parks up and stands proud watching out for admirers in exactly the way of the horse owners did before. Now a megaphone blasts out which spoils things a bit but nevertheless an amazing day out , sorry I didn't take any pictures of the market.
