From Beginner Basics to Trying Trot and Canter
Learn, ride, and venture farther. Spend three unforgettable days on the Mongolian steppe, building your riding skills and deepening your connection with horses.
Go Beyond the Basics with 3 Days of Horseback Riding on the Mongolian Steppe
Horse Camp Mongolia’s 2-night, 3-day horseback riding experience is a small-group program designed to help even complete beginners gradually develop their riding skills while discovering more of Mongolia’s vast and beautiful steppe.
On Day 1, you’ll learn how to interact with horses and practice the basics, including mounting, stopping, moving forward, and turning. Once you’ve gained confidence, you’ll head out for your first ride across the steppe.
On Day 2, you’ll review the skills you learned the previous day and ride farther from camp. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the open grasslands while continuing to develop your riding ability. You’ll practice trotting according to your skill level. If conditions are safe, taking into account your ability, the horse’s condition, the weather, and the terrain, you may also have the opportunity to try cantering.
On Day 3, put your skills into practice on a horseback ride of approximately 15 km round trip, lasting around 3 hours. As you spend more time with your horse, you’ll develop a better feel for controlling your horse independently and riding farther across the open steppe.
Go from simply trying horseback riding to confidently guiding your horse across the grasslands. Over three days, build your skills step by step at a comfortable pace.
With three full days, you can take your time and gradually build your riding skills at your own pace.
Enjoy plenty of time on the Mongolian steppe, sharing unforgettable moments with your horse.

Itinerary – Your 3-Day Experience
We’ll pick you up from your hotel and drive to Horse Camp. Enjoy the beautiful Mongolian scenery along the way as we head out to the steppe, approximately 2 hours from Ulaanbaatar.
After arriving at Horse Camp, you won’t jump straight onto a horse. First, you’ll learn the basics to ensure a safe and enjoyable horseback riding experience.
Learn about horse behavior, how to interact with horses, and essential safety precautions. Then, spend some time gently interacting with the horses to become comfortable around them at your own pace.
Practice leading a horse yourself while learning how to maintain a safe distance and handle the horse properly. This experience is about more than just riding — learning how to interact with and care for horses is an important part of the journey.
Practice mounting, stopping, moving forward, and turning right and left repeatedly in the area around the camp.
Lunch featuring traditional Mongolian dishes such as buuz and khuushuur. Taking a break to get ready for the afternoon horseback riding on the steppe.
Using the basic maneuvers practiced in the morning, set off onto the steppe with an instructor. We will head toward a nomad household for about an hour, focusing mainly on a gentle walk.
Visiting a nomad family, we will experience Mongolian daily life and nomadic culture while receiving hospitality such as tea.
Heading back to camp on horseback. The ride is mainly at a walk, but if the instructor deems it safe based on participant proficiency, horse condition, and weather, you may try a trot.
