A black horse stands on a snow and ice-covered surface in a recreational park area in Astana, Kazakhstan. The horse is equipped with a red, quilted saddle featuring gold-colored stitching, and a red bridle with a cream-colored woven noseband and decorative tassels near its left eye. A silver-toned stirrup hangs from the left side of the saddle. A person, visible from the mid-thigh down, stands next to the horse's head, wearing dark blue pants and black knee-high boots. Their hands are positioned near the horse's lower jaw, appearing to manipulate the bridle. To the right, the lower legs and feet of a second individual are partially visible, wearing light blue jeans and shoes with red soles. The background includes a treeline composed of bare deciduous trees and evergreens, and a partially visible white park bench. The ground is extensively covered in snow and reflective ice patches. The specific location within Astana is not definitively identifiable but aligns with a public park or recreational ground.
