?????????????????

[Che -Guevara]

Must be Darwiish land. How about Gaari Dameer racing?

[Valenteenah.]

I've heard stories of young men racing horses in the nude, around the turn of the last century.

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

The famous Nugaal valley of course!

[Sky]

Dooxada Nugaaleed of course. What a silly question. The best and most arabian horses in Somalia are found in that valley. Sanaag occupies a very distant second place.

 

Siad Barre [RIP] touring Nugaal province.

[Sophist]

LA the heart of Nugal Valley man! Duubcadii weeye.

[Paragon]

 

Horse racers in Ceerigaabo few days ago, at a traditional wedding.

 

 

And the adjudicators :

 

[NASSIR]

Adeer Sanaag is the birth of Horse racing.

 

Nugal occupies second.

[Intel]

dooxada nugaaleed (the birth place of xiin)

then sanaag

[NASSIR]

Messy, Am I biased then? I can refer you to a Somali historian whose writings scholars both Somali and non-Somali cite and respect. I.M Lewis. Sanaag is the birth place and even had engaged trade with Arabia since you should know horses came to us from there. And Las Qorey was once the center where England and Italy used to buy horses from. There is no gainsaying about that. Nugal and others had come into contact long after Sanaag maintained this tradition, so through brotherly gesture and trade it was similarly exchanged these beautiful animals to as far as Somali Galbeed

Caamir wayahay inader Sanaag it is then

Nugaal iyo Sanaag waa 2 gobol oo aan midna ku dhashay midna kusoo koray... its win win nooh

[Chimera]

we need to organise real games that can unite all Somali people and keep their minds of all this war drumming

 

horse racing is great for a family day out
