Horses and horse welfare
Mongolian horses have eight speeds unlike Western trained horses which have four. Speeds five to eight are generally quite painful for you, the rider.
Find out more about the horses and how they will be looked after here.

Hopefully we won't get any horse injuries because the nature of the Mongol Derby means it is the rider under stress not the horse. However, if your horse sustains even a minor injury you will need to get off and walk it to the next Urtuu. You will receive training on how to spot injuries and assess their severity before the race in Mongolia. If your horse gets seriously injured there will be veterinary backup to come to its rescue. You will also have an emergency beacon that will enable our vets to locate you and the horse, should you find yourself in a pickle.
