Before the advent of tractors and machinery, horses were used on farms for three seasons of the year; during the winter, the horses were left to roam on their own. The descendants of these horses, no longer needed for farm work, now roam in groups of 10-12 horses and move in herds to survive. A great number of wild horses (yılkı atları) live in the Sultan Reeds region, around Sarıgöl on the foothills of Erciyes Mountain, and in the Hürmetçi and Dokuzpınar regions. Hundreds of tourists from Türkiye and abroad flock to the region to see and photograph these wild horses. In addition, documentaries have been made about them.
