Horses herd in the steppe

Mongolia holds more than 3 million horses, an equine population which outnumbers the country's human population.
Everywhere in the countryside we encounter horses grazing in the fields.
Nowhere are horses more central to daily life than in Mongolia.
The country is known as the land of the horse, and Mongols have a reputation for being the best horsemen on Earth.
“It is not possible to imagine Mongolian history without horses,” says J. Tserendeleg, president of the Mongolian Association for Conservation of Nature and the Environment. “I think it is not possible to view the future of Mongolia without horses as well.
Mongolia is not Mongolia without horses.”
