| Breed Characteristics: |
In Mongolia the horses live outdoors all year (at 30°C in summer down to -40°C in winter) and search for food on their own.

Mongolian horses are frugal, arduous, somewhat wily, and tread safely in rough terrain. In Mongolia, most animals are kept roaming free, and only a small number of riding animals get caught and tethered. Once the animal has become familiarized with carrying a rider, it will be calm, friendly, and very reliable.
