Mongolians have been traversing their country on horseback for thousands
of years. You should do the same. Short day rides are possible right around
Ulaanbaatar - but the best areas are Gorkhi-Terelj National Park (

some getting used to the half-wild Mongolian horses and their short and stocky
build. Fortunately, local guides know their animals well - pay attention and follow
their lead.
