Mongolian Children Start Learning Horse Riding at Three

In Mongolia, horse riding is an integral part of the country's culture and way of life, and children there start learning to ride horses at the age of three. This tradition has a long - standing history and is deeply rooted in the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols.

 

Horses have been the lifeblood of Mongolian nomads for centuries. They are not only used for transportation but also play a crucial role in herding, hunting, and even warfare1. As a result, horsemanship skills are highly valued in Mongolian society1. Starting horse riding training at the age of three allows children to develop a close bond with horses from an early age and gradually master the necessary skills.

 

The culture of horse riding is ubiquitous in Mongolia1. There are unique cultural festivals such as the Naadam Festival, where horse racing is a major event, attracting people from all over the world1. Through these activities, the importance of horse riding in Mongolian culture is continuously emphasized and passed down from generation to generation. Even in modern times, as Mongolia continues to develop, the equestrian culture still holds a vital position in the hearts of the people and is an important part of the country's cultural heritage.
