Rare horse from Perthshire set for Japanese TV
A rare breed of horse from a Perthshire stable is to feature on Japanese television.
Kambarbay is a golden Akhal-Teke horse, a breed known for the unique metallic appearance of its coat.
The stallion will travel from his home in Braco to a scenic rural stable near Leven in Fife for three days of filming by the Japanese crew.
The nature of the programme is being kept tightly under wraps, with not even owner Rosalyn Serex aware of the details.
It is understood a well known singer from Japan will be accompanying the 10-strong team from FujiTV on the trip.
Rosalyn, of Solaris Sports Horses, said: “Akhal-Teke horses are famous for their golden colours and their metallic sheen.
“The coat is hollow so it reflects light.
“A media organisation contacted me from London and they requested to come and video Kambarbay.
“They are coming with a famous Japanese singer.
“They’ve hired Balcormo Stud for three days in November.
“I don’t know if it’s for a drama, a documentary or something else but they are going to televise the singer meeting a rare Akhal-Teke in Scotland.
“That’s as much as I know at the moment.
“It’s definitely our strangest request.”
