She was born on August 15, 2009, in the village of Sary-Bulun, located in the Tyup district. "My childhood was spent among clean air, wide fields, and the sounds of horse hooves," the girl shares her memories.
Currently, Aitunuk lives in Bishkek and is in the 10th grade, dedicating all her time to studying and training.
Her passion for horses began in childhood when she enthusiastically watched the performances of Dastan Kachkynbaev. At the age of 13-14, she started to learn horseback riding on her own. There were no family members involved in ulak tartysh, but she chose this path for herself and strives for improvement.
Since the age of 14, she has actively participated in ulak tartysh, despite resistance from her relatives. Often, to avoid suspicion, she would leave home with a promise to return soon. Her passion for the game of ulak was so strong that it did not stop her.
Although Aitunuk does not yet have loud achievements, each training session is a step forward for her. She particularly remembers the moment when she first lifted the ulak and still recalls that day with excitement.
In her free time, Aitunuk is also interested in archery, believing that this art develops hunting skills, accuracy, and patience. She sometimes participates in kız kuumai, but her main interest is focused on the game of ulak. In her native village, she participated in kız kuumai only 1-2 times, while thoughts of ulak occupy her significantly more.
Aitunuk has just started practicing archery but is already striving for high results.
"My main goal is to become a daughter that my parents will be proud of," she says. "I also dream of becoming a rider in kok-boru and perfecting my shooting skills. My dreams are big, and I am confident that my efforts must match them," Aitunuk adds.
