Fairfield works closely with a number of nomadic families who host travellers wishing to stay with them, and also to guide horse treks.  We provide riding horses, pack horses, saddlebags, helmets and guides.  Usually travellers choose to stay with nomadic families in their gers, but choosing to carry and sleep in tents is entirely optional also.

​

A horse trek with our guides is as much an experience of nomadic culture as it is about riding horses.  We are committed to NOT making this a 'tourist' experience, but rather an experience of genuine Mongolian nomadic cultural life.

 

The Horses: Mongolian horses are smaller and stockier than the typical European / American horse, but do not underestimate their strength and stamina. They are usually a little more spirited than western horses, so your guide will carefully select the right horse for your level of experience and competence. We provide a ‘Russian’ style of saddle and tack, which foreign travellers usually find more comfortable than the traditional wooden saddle. There is no required experience to undertake a trek, first-timers and beginners are more than welcome, as are children. The trek you undertake will be adjusted to suit the abilities of your group.

​

Required Experience: No experience of horse riding is required.  If you have little or no experience, additional guides will accompany you to provide all the assistance you require.   Our guides will vary the pace and distance of the trek to suit your abilities
