Терек, советская тяжеловозная порода.

This series traces the journey of the Terék, a Soviet draft horse breed forged in the rugged terrain of the North Caucasus. Through sweeping movements and grounded stillness, Helena reveals the horse’s role as both laborer and symbol of resilience. Each image captures a moment of connection between animal and land, evoking a world where tradition persists against the tide of modernity. The horses move with purpose—pulling carts, standing sentinel in snow-dusted fields, or resting after a long day’s work. This is not just a portrait of a breed, but a testament to a way of life that endures.
