A brief annotation
There are over 3 million horses in Mongolia and therefore about the same amount as the entire human population. Nowhere in the world is the ratio of horses to people as high as in Mongolia. The origins of the Mongolian horse lie way back. Central Asian nomadic people already used riding horses 3000 years ago. Studies show that the Mongolian horse has the greatest genetic diversity worldwide from which many of today’s horse breeds originate.
