Bronco Wild Club · Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Learn to ride on the Mongolian steppe, finishing at the Naadam Festival
A Mongolian horse-riding adventure with Bronco Wild Club, built for beginners: a few days of guided lessons near Ulaanbaatar to build skill and confidence, then a ride out across the steppe on hardy Mongolian horses, timed to finish at the Naadam Festival with its wrestling, archery and horse racing. Nights are in traditional ger (yurt) camps.
Designed for beginners and improvers: the trip starts with guided lessons to build confidence before heading out across the steppe. You should be reasonably fit and happy to spend hours in the saddle, but no experience is needed.
Small, hardy, semi-wild Mongolian horses, tough and sure-footed, at the heart of nomadic life.
The first days are spent learning to ride and handle the horses near Ulaanbaatar, then the group heads out across the steppe for longer days in the saddle, camping in gers, before joining the crowds and colour of the Naadam Festival.
