Mongol Horse Trail - Mongolia

Mongol Horse Trail

Sara who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Exhilarating ride with exceptional guides and horses | We always look for riding holidays that are fast paced, and this one definitely delivered! My horse was one of the best steeds I've had the pleasure of riding; he was responsive, fast, and we connected with each other so well.

We couldn't have asked for a better guide in Batana. There were a couple of people in the group who had less riding experience, but Batana did an excellent job managing expectations of riders with different levels of confidence. He ensured that for those who wanted to go fast (the majority of us) got to do just that while keeping safety in mind. My favorite moments were the long gallops across the valleys as well as riding through birch tree forests and wildflowers.

The lead herdsman, Gana, clearly knows his horses and has trained them well. His energy, laughter and smiles were contagious. It's amazing how much he knows the territory and weather patterns; there was one day where we were able to dodge isolated rain for almost the entire time on horseback, all thanks to Gana!

Robert who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. A fantastic riding experience | Exceeded expectations - a combination of walking through beautiful forests combined with fast (and prolonged) riding across the steppes.
A fantastic riding experience - some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever experienced with great guides and sensible forward going horses that never put a foot wrong - just get used to standing up for all paces! The In The Saddle team couldn't have been more helpful and I recommend following their packing suggestions very closely including the fours seasons sleeping bag! Should also mention that the food was very good which came as a pleasant surprise as Mongolian cuisine was billed as one of the less strong points of the country. The Naadam Games were great with displays of archery, wrestling and, of course, riding.
