The hotly contested Mongol Derby is the longest & most grueling horse race in the world. The race re-creates the vast messenger system of 1000 kilometers created by Genghis Khan.
An Ongoing Series
While I can’t agree with the harsh treatment of the animals in this race, I could say the same thing about most modern horse sports. This one is steeped in tradition and part of our equestrian history. This show features Barry and Joe who only have three training days to learn the rules, size up the competition, acclimatize to the heat and meet the wild Mongolian horses. I’ll post more episodes as they come available.
Stay Tuned
I have a few episodes to post and I’ll be posting them in the weeks to come. Feel free to let me know what you think about the race in the comments below – I know there are some strong opinions out there.
