In the mythology of the Gumalians, Nadina is known as a brave rider and warrior, the owner of Gohir the blind horse.

Nadina is the daughter of Olm. Olm had three hundred horses, all of them healthy and strong and very fast, but he especially loved Aya because she was quiet and noble and the fastest of them all.

After years of waiting, Aya gave birth to a strong and intelligent foal named Gohir. When Gohir was a week old, it turned out that he was blind. Olm tried to cure Gohir of his blindness. He consulted with the tribal elders. He took him to the shaman Rolpa and the witch Dyga, but neither could cure Gohir of his blindness.

After despairing of his attempts to cure the young colt’s blindness, he decided to kill him because he feared he would hinder the tribe’s wanderings. Nadina heard this and begged her father to have mercy on the young colt, but he refused.

In the dead of night, Nadina and Gohir fled from the clan compound to the large meadow. In the morning, Olm discovered that his daughter and the foal were missing. He searched for many days and found no trace of them.

On the thirtieth day after Nadina and Gohir disappeared, Kayoor, the durmakan bird, revealed to Olm that they were near Rascalam Cliff. He hurried there, but when she saw him approaching, she climbed the cliff with Gohir and threatened to jump off if he followed her. Olm begged his daughter to return to him. He promised her that he would not harm Gohir.

They returned to the tribe. Gohir did not delay the wandering journey. Nadina used to ride his mother, the mare Aya, and sing songs to him. And he would hear her gentle voice and run after her happily.

Gohir grew up to be the fastest of the Gomalia horses. When Nadina rode him, no rider could catch them, because when Nadina rode on Gohir, she would describe the world around him and whisper words of encouragement in his ear. Gohir would gallop for her to the ends of the world because he loved her very much and trusted her completely.
