One of the best ways to discover and explore Mongolia is on horseback. The country is certainly a paradise for riders who crave vast, open spaces and exciting wilderness areas to explore with strong and powerful horses. Mongolian horses may have a short, stocky, and pony-like build, but they are robust and have great stamina. These characteristics enable them to gallop 10 kilometres continuously. Horse riding treks can be arranged for your holiday trip to Mongolia, so you can experience how way nomads and avid adventurers explore and get around in the country.
Look for a specialist tour operator that is known for its organised and tailor-made trips to or within Mongolia. Consider a locally owned company that caters to an international clientèle, so you can be sure that they can understand your needs and provide safe, high-quality horse riding trips. Their cross-cultural expertise and knowledge guarantees their credibility in a country where a guiding association certificates and claims of being a ‘certified’ or ‘approved’ guide are not enough to ensure quality tours.
Booking a horse riding trek with a reputable Mongolia tour operator will ensure the best experience, with well-equipped horses, trustworthy and friendly wranglers, and carefully selected horses based on speed, stamina, size, and temperament. The saddles have adjustable stirrup straps and protective covering to ensure comfort for you and the horse. Wide girth straps and stylised local stirrups further ensure safety with their wider step. Local felt saddle pads are placed under the saddles for extra comfort and support.
Many Mongolia horse treks do not have support from a vehicle due to their expeditionary nature in remote areas, but pack horses will be provided to carry your equipment. A good Mongolia tour operator will provide a pack horse for every two guests. A cook will accompany you on your trip, so you can have someone to cook quality hearty meals for you. On remote horse treks, a satellite phone will be provided and you can use it for emergencies.
