in india, each year in november, the small, barren desert oasis of pushkar is transformed into a
place of pilgrimage for millions of indians. everybody who is anybody on the horse scene in
rajasthan ? maharajas, breeders and horse masters ? meets at the pushkar mela, the turbulent market
for over 50,000 horses and camels. pushkar is also the place where the legendary marwaris are bought
and sold.
under the spell of horses is a beautifully shot 4 part series that explores the ancient relationship
of horses and man. in morroco, once a year the royal city of meknes is transformed into an oriental
military-style camp. the arena right in front of the city wall is flanked by large team tents at the
sides, decorated halls made of ivory-coloured canvas or bedouin-style black felt. two thousand
curious onlookers gather round the square. more than five hundred riders are expected to take part
in this major fantasia, a warlike display of horsemanship. argentina breeds and exports the most
horses in the world and nowhere else has such a rich and diverse horse culture. the film gives the
viewer a glimpse of three very different worlds: the gauchos in the pampa, the exclusive polo scene
and the daily fight for survival of the "cartoneros", the rubbish collectors in the gigantic city of
buenos aires. in india, each year in november, the small, barren desert oasis of pushkar is

horses. on the edge of the arctic circle we meet the family goroarsson and see their work with
horses. in summer, when the days neither begin nor end because it never gets dark, they drive most
of the horses up to the highland pastures where the animals have complete freedom. 3 months later
it?s time for "rettir", when they are driven down again. during that time the family prepares for
the great horse ride to the glacier.
