There is some scientific supposition that horses originated in Mongolia. The ancestor of hoofed animals — toe-nailed animals (condylarter) was found in 1924 in Mongolia by Andrew’s expedition. Later, international expeditions have found proof of these suppositions in Mongolian territory and have made a comparative research.  Mongolia is often described as the “land of the horse”. Children learn to ride as young as four or five years old and about half the country’s 2.5 million people who are semi-nomadic breed horses. But the animals are domestic.

The Mongolian wild horse is known in the West as the Prezewalski horse after the Russian naturalist, Nicole Prezewalski, who first sighted several herds in 1879. In Mongolia it is called takhi. The horse resembles animals in cave drawings and paintings by Stone Age people in Mongolia and other countries. The paintings suggest that in prehistoric times the horse ranged over large parts of Asia. So, it is thought that Mongolian horses descended from the Mongolian wild horses (takhi).

Today, Mongolia is one of few countries with hundreds of thousands of horses (3 million). It has the highest per capita ratio of people to horses on earth. Horse herds account for 9 percent of all herds and 7 percent of agricultural production. Per year 200 thousand horses are used for food consumption. 40 per cent of Mongolian horses live in Ovorkhangai, Tov, Arkhangai, Hovsgol, Zavkhan and Bayankhongor aimags; which of them have 20-30 thousand horses.

In the countryside horses are used for riding and other work purposes. A mare produces  200 liters of milk each year, from which airag, aaruul (curds) and butter are prepared. 600g of fiber is combed off, 400g of mane hair and 100g of tail hair cut from a horse on average. Its leather and hide are used to make different domestic products. Horse meat is tasty, rich in proteins and has curative properties, as well as widely consumed in world market. Mongolian horses have endurance, are flexible to any territorial and climate conditions and don’t demand too much caring. These characteristics were praised by Soviet soldiers during World War II, when 500 thousand Mongolian horses, presented by Mongolian herders to Soviet army had reached Berlin together with Russian tanks. Mongols respect horses for long journeys, hunting and battle as a “kholog”, meaning “reliable friend”. Horses are used for different purposes; riding (unaany mori), racing (khurdan mori), and catching other horses (uurgyn mori). A horse-herder is a much respected man.

Mongolian horses arose 6 thousand  years ago probably from the wild horses under the name Kulan and Takhi. There are data about jumps  of the horses from 1812. The fast-track qualities of modern generation of the Mongolian horses originated at high-speed natural animal.

Force. When a horse lifts 75 kgs weight up to 1 meter it is referred to as one  horse force mass. The less than mass the easier it is to overcome earth’s gravity. At a jump mass of the horse is distributed at three main levels of motions.  Moment of accumulation mass of the horse on back two legs Moment  of equating mass of the horse on two back and forward legs Moment of  accumulation mass of the horse on forward and back two legs. At the  moment of equating mass of the horse on two back and forward legs the horse passes long distance. From old time in Mongolia before race reduces  deprived mass of the horse by long duration idle time of the horse both optimum feed also by constant jumps.

Energy. At a jump the body of the horse gets the peculiar form both arrangements of forward and back legs and by that it creates conditions of accumulation of potential energy and also consumption’s as kinetic energy.

Friction. During the horse’s jumping  the flow of air creates friction on a surface of the horse’s body. The routh surface of the horse’s body smoothes out at the expense about force of friction of a flow of air at a jump. At such long duration process the body  of the horse gets a figure of an ellipse the figure of an ellipse is considered as the best form against resistance of a flow of air. Therefore bodies of the Mongolian fast horses have the oval round form Physical properties.

At the Mongolian fast horses all the fast qualities are subordinated to some laws of mass, energy, friction and earth attraction of physics. Race are typically 30 km long and the jockeys are children. Prizes are given to those who finish in the top 25%. Horses are caught by means of a uurga, a pole with a noose at the end. These incredible horsemen pride themselves on being able to pick up an uurga from the ground at a full gallop.
