They cooked food and pitched tents for the night. Local farmers helped with hay for the horses. Duguidan Vinokurov is famous for promoting the Yakut horse breed. In 2021-2022 he travelled on horseback from another Pole of Cold, the Yuchugei settlement in Yakutia, to Moscow on the back of a Yakut horse.
