My first visit to Zurmang

My first visit to Zurmang was in 1992, and at that time there were not many cars, so I had to ride a horse for the first time in my life. In the beginning, one of monks advised me to hold the reins tightly if the horse started to run faster. In the beginning, things went quite smoothly, but after some time, the horse started to run faster, and I forgot all the advice I was given. Instead I held tightly to the neck of the horse, which didn't really help, and as I remember it, the monks had a good laugh. That was the first and the last time I rode a horse!
