Turkmenistan, not Turkey

I'd love to see the beauty parlour though!

Would help if I actually read things

I tried Googling around to find out more about the beauty parlour but nothing came up I really want to see it though. I remember going to the BBA's swimming pool/solarium in Newmarket when I was a teenager and the mind boggles to think what they managed to spend £12million on.

I have an Akhal Teke (the breed that the beauty contest is being organised for) and my friends on the yard and I were particularly amused by the "best holiday attire'' category... we were thinking of entering my mare wearing sunglasses and armbands, or perhaps with an apres-ski theme?

Lucky you to have an Akhal Teke!

Bikini? I actually wonder if it's "holiday" as in festival/holy day and it's a traditional costume, not that I've ever seen an Akhal Teke in an outfit...
