There is a legend saying<br />

that in ancient times, people of<br />

the Fergana Valley (in ancient<br />

times – Davan) bred the horses<br />

of unearthly beauty, elegance,<br />

power and grandeur. Horses were<br />

also known outside the state.<br />

Due to their extreme endurance,<br />

the Chinese called them heavenly<br />

horses. They even initiated<br />

wars to conquer the horses of<br />

Ferghana, but their attempts were<br />

unsuccessful.<br />

After the first defeat in 104<br />

BC, the Chinese emperor Wu-di<br />

again decides to take possession<br />

of Davan territory, and this time<br />

the Fergana people, having been<br />

defeated, got obliged to supply<br />

China with 300 horses per year<br />

for its army.<br />
