The difficulty level was Easy, a beginner course of about 2 hours and 9km involving crossing a few small rivers. However, the total trot distance was just over 16 minutes and 2.3km, making it thoroughly enjoyable even for experienced riders. The ridden horse had a tight mouth, making it difficult to control. Only towards the end, when space opened up between horses, could I achieve a good rhythm in trot.
When picked up by car, I thought the driver seemed elderly, but later learned he was the owner of the horse farm, which made me feel quite embarrassed. It's a family-run operation, but apparently a large farm with over 100 horses.
Incidentally, I was surprised to see the guide at the rear riding bareback.
The beginner's course to Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex took me through herds of grazing cows, and enjoyable even for experienced riders.It follows the lead horse reliably and handles well. I tried various positions within the formation along the way, and it responded obediently. Several people in the group were riding horses for the first time, yet they still managed to gallop. Naturally, the formation became a complete mess and descended into chaos, but it was remarkable that everyone arrived at the destination without falling off their horses.
