Here, he successfully lassoos the foal he was after. This one and it's mama had given the guys no end of trouble. Truth to tell, I was kind of rooting for the mare and her baby. She managed to escape with a couple of the lassoo poles ! They got broken, of course, and then others had to be hunted up.
Photo I'm sorry I missed: the guide who happened upon the scene as he conducted a Danish couple down the valley decided to help out. He was the one who managed to lose one of the lassoo poles. Then, with a fresh one, he sought to redeem himself. He managed to lassoo the mare, but she kept running and he was pulled from his saddle and tumbled onto the ground; his horse had also been pulled off balance and took a fall as well! Neither was seriously hurt. BoomBoom has it on video, though.
After this, it was time for a celebratory picnic. This included freshly deep-fried crullers (with an unpronouncable Mongolian name) with a big bowl of butter fat and clarified butter (Bold ate it with a spoon!) to dip them in. Not to mention the little foil-wrapped candies and, of course, the bottle of vodka.
