About us
Archers and horse people
Mongolian Horseback Archery began with one horse. In the autumn of 2021, our co-founder Tuvshintuguldur raised a fund for 3 sibling horses that were going to slaughter house and rescued them. 3 horses were trained and rode for 6 years. As horseback archers we have many national & international champions in our team.
Today we are a friends-run school and sanctuary in near Ulaanbaatar city. Some of our trainers grew up on the saddle; most of our horses came to us from the slaughter house. But most of us are born in city and loved the horses after learning horseback archery. Travellers, foreign students who come to learn horseback archery make it possible for us to keep buying them back.
