Join us, as we learn about the horses of the Mongolian Steppes. The Mongol horse is the native horse breed of Mongolia. The breed is purported to be largely unchanged since the time of Genghis Khan, and with Nomads managing over 3 million horses, they outnumber the country's human population. In Mongolia, the horses live outdoors all year, dealing with temperatures from 86 °F in summer down to −40 °F in winter, and they graze and search for food generally on their own. They serve as riding and transport animals, and are used both for the daily work of the nomads and in horse racing.
