I’ve always had a fascination with the Mongolian Pony and the horsemen who ride them. The harsh environment and distances they travel are vast, but these hardy ponies have proven to be the livelyhood of these people for thousands of years, and no doubt were immortalised during the time of the Golden Hordes and the Kahn dynasties.
Here are few videos of the ponies and their riders:

Do you know of any Mongolian horses/ponies in the US/Canada(or ever UK)? I have acquired an interest for them a few years ago and recently started looking around for some horses that would be a little closer than Mongolia. Thanks for your time.

Hi Jennifer,
I don’t know of any Mongolian ponies in US, Canada, UK or Australia for that matter. There ae sure to be some breeders somewhere. Maybe try your national equestrian federation.
