Altai’s story
Altai arrived thin and wary of people. Eight months later he is one of the calmest horses on the archery track and the first choice for nervous beginners.
Rescued in spring and now a steady partner on the archery track. Our rescue team met Altai in person, checked teeth, hooves and temperament, and agreed a price with the seller.
Mongolian horses are small, tough and astonishingly intelligent. Every autumn, thousands are sold for meat when families need cash before winter. Each one we can buy back becomes part of our school — and a reason for travellers to come and ride.
