Zhuchka is about 15 years old. Her life is in full swing, and she responds with a hoof. In the village of Dolginovo, all the local men are afraid of her, they don’t come closer than three meters to the mare. In our presence, she twice overturned a cart and its passengers. Only Vladimir Ratov was able to cope with the horse’s character. He needs her to work on the farm, and he needs her to be able to gallop with the wind. They have been living like this for several years, probably feeling each other’s strength. Vladimir’s farm, although real, is quite exotic for our region: for more than nine and a half years now, he and his wife have been growing snails. You will be surprised, but the demand for such delicacies on the market is higher than the supply! And this is a very successful “small business” for our country, but there is a nuance. You can learn more about the life of snails here: http://ratov.by/ or here: / ratovsnail . And if you have friends or acquaintances who are as passionate about their business as Vladimir, write to Igor (email: [email protected]; Instagram: / dzemiankou ) — we'll make a story.
