Our Horse Riding Tours Across Mongolia

Our Mongolia Horse Riding Tours places among the people of Mongolia who used to love singing while roaming through the county, until not too long ago entertainment became omnipresent, starting with self-fitting cassette players into the Russian UAZ Jeeps, our days through mobile phones. Along our Mongolia Horse Riding Tours you’ll understand that being out in nature, makes every heart wanting to express its feelings of love and awe. In the songs of Mongolia, love is firstly projected to the mother but right after to the horse. The union between man and horse is unique and the Mongolian horse is very special too!

Our horse riding clients sometimes would smile about the horses at the beginning of the journey: The horses look small and thin and are not necessarily groomed as much. But no more belittlement after the trip, rather the recognition that the Mongolian horse is strong, durable, short footed and very capable to take us hours and hours unfailingly through all kind of ground conditions. The fact, that the horses do live most of their time away from people, free in the surrounding valleys and mountains – while its owners live in a ger – the Mongolian horses have to cope with the wilderness, the cold and the wolfs, requires them to be more intelligent and have a better judgment, then horses in the west.

To move through Mongolia’s wilderness on horseback is a wonderful experience. Our horse trekking itineraries take you up high, to 4000 meters over sea level, hundreds of kilometers far, to places that no vehicle ever can reach. The horse is making travel much less strenuous then walking and if it rains or is cold, the horse gives you warmth, if there are too many flies, the horse will feed them. And when you get used to your horse it becomes a very joyful experience that makes you wanting to sing to your horse as well!

On our Mongolia Horse Riding Tours, we provide Australian Stock saddles with all our riding trips. They have been purpose built for Mongolian horses, their tree is narrower, therefor fits on their back and causes no harm to the horse. Australian Stock saddles are very safe for people that are not too familiar with horse-riding, as they have support that prevents the rider from falling forward when the horse suddenly puts its head down or stops and makes sudden turns. With every tour the guide and the horsemen give instructions on how to respond to the horse, what to avoid and what to make sure of. We recommend our clients to wear helmets. If wished, our horsemen are happy to lead rope clients to begin with, until they gain enough confidence to ride themselves.
