Summary
| Description |
English: Two men in Kenya's Nyeri County ride horses as a means of transport to traverse the mountainous terrain of Mount Kenya. The jockey on the left is named MaxBrian Mugo, nicknamed Fearless Brayo due to his courageous outlook on life. On the right is Joseph Muriithi Ritho. 'Muriithi' means shepherd while 'Ritho' means eye in Gikuyu, their native language. He hopes to lead his country to greener pastures in the future.
The dark coat stallion on the left is named Dawn to reiterate his colour, while the brown coat mare to the right is named Farasi, which is Swahili for horse. She is the most obedient horse in the string of horses owned by the Rithos.
Kiswahili: Wakenya wawili wanaume katika jimbo la Nyeri, nchini Kenya waendesha farasi kama njia ya kusafiri kupitia milima na mabonde ya Mlima Kenya. Mwendeshaji aliye kushoto anaitwa MaxBrian Mugo, na jina lake la utani ni Jasiri Brayo kwani huwa mwenye ujasiri tele. Kwenye upande wa kulia ni Joseph Muriithi Ritho. 'Muriithi' inamaanisha mchungaji wa mifugo nayo 'Ritho' inamaanisha 'jicho' katika lugha yao asili Kikuyu. Muriithi ana ndoto ya kuiongoza nchi yake na kuipeleka katika nyasi yenye ujani mbichi zaidi yaani kutimiza miundo misingi mingi.
Farasi ndume mweusi aliye kushoto anaitwa Alfajiri Kuu kwani rangi yake ni kama giza inayokuwepo kabla ya siku kukucha, kike hudhurungi aliye kulia anaitwa Farasi iliyo na maana hiyo hiyo katika Kiswahili. Yeye ndiye mtiifu zaidi kwenye uzi wa farasi wanaomilikiwa na familia ya Ritho.
