These knights got off their horses and developed a powerful business model to help the economy grow. They started a consumer products company directed at the Russian market. They offered to teach the model to anyone interested. Just as they were enjoying some success life stepped in. An unnoticed death led to the assignation of the Cowboy! Set in the 1970's, in Belorussia, it is but a glimpse of Russia. Equestrians afoot is the prequel to Equestrians Abroad. A much more ambitious story.
