Part 1: Competitors test their physical and mental limits on the backs of wild horses in Mongolia.
Part 2: Facing extreme weather, injuries and sickness, Mongol Derby competitors start to drop out.

    Lesson for the kiddies folks: Don't push your horse to the max in races like these. Even if you're switching horses at each vet check, the horse you're riding has to be in good shape, constantly pushing your horse to the edge of death each time makes the vet penalize you or throw you out. The horse has to have signs of a good heart rate when he goes through the vet check and if not, it's over. Notice how Devon came in at a gallop while the other one rode in at a steady, slow trot. That's why she won.

    One: The horses should have been trained for months to build up energy storages inside them, and to build good hearts that can work hard for long time. Secondly: Obviously, the horses in this race are not pure Mongolian horses. They are cross bred horses.

    not just a "good heart rate" (A low heart rate), Good hydration/skin tenting/ cap refill and good gut sounds. Being a team member w/ your horse is how a good rider thinks. Using your animal like a machine- well- you deserve to get pulled and penalized. I just lost my endurance mare a few days ago- we competed for over ten years with a 100% completion rate and always top ten.

    Unlike Western horse racing, which consists of short sprints generally not much longer than 2 km, Mongolian horse racing as featured in Naadam is a cross-country event, with races 15-30 km long. Up to 1000 horses from any part of Mongolia can be chosen to participate. Race horses are fed a special diet. Children from 5 to 13 are chosen as jockeys who train in the months preceding the races. Let me say that agai, 5 to 13 years old...

    My mother rode in the Vermont 100-mile ride. Her horse was quite competitive, dominant in the pasture, and was accustomed to being in front as the carriage horse in a buggy & ponies outing. Once he realized there was always another horse in front somewhere, he wanted to overtake it and pulled the entire ride. He was rather stiff at the finish.

    During the 13th & 14th century they did this in full armor. Every Mongolian warrior had 4 to 5 horses and they switched between them during a 50 mile a day ride. The "reserve" horses would gallop allong with them and stay relatively fresh that way. They also excusively rode lactating mares and the fouls would keep up all the way. Mongolian ponies are the toughest bred horses in the world able to outrun the best Arabian thoroughbreds and break them. All this vetinarian crap was not neccesary back then. Either the horse took it or died but 9 times out of ten, outside of battle, a Mongolian warrior would stop before that happened. His horses were more important to him then god. And if he mistreated them he'd be severely punished even facing dead for it by his fellow warriors.

    True, but today you have organizations like PETA and other animal rights activists who would throw a fit if they did that kind of stuff without checks. That and like Devon showed while riding and probably several other competitors: They wanted to ride and win, and would be unrealistic most likely on how their horses condition were to be able to do so. It happens a lot, and it's sad, they're magnificent horses. I saw a show about the horses and the Mongols relationship with them modern day and it was amazing how they treat and care for them.

When your side loses, your horse and you better still have energy to run away.

There wouldn't be such race today if it wasn't for the connection Mongolian people had with their horses -- it wouldn't be famous if it weren't for that. But these girls are acting like spoilt little brats who didn't get the toy they wanted from their parents. Only in it to win, acting like the animal who carries them is just an object.

A 25 mile streach for an uncondition ponny carrying rider and gear is not bad. That over ½ of the compeditors had to drop out! I suspect they ran the ponnies too hard, running them as shown in the film will take the wind out of them pretty fast. Top endurance riders trott their horses seldom breaking over into a run.

Charles II of England (1660 - 1680) inferred the rules of racing that the 6year old horse was to win two 4 mile (6.4km) heats, often having to do two more heats in the same day. This was in order to breed top horses. We do not want people believing that running the endurance horse is the norm.

    Hmm, I dislike that this is all about racing, reaching each station, and winning. It has nothing to do with bonding with a horse or even getting to know them. All the riders were just thrown on horses who didn't know them, and evidently they were not always willing participants. The time penalty that cost that rider her win was crushing, but deserved. These horses are basically forced to serve humans in this race; the least the riders can do is not OVER work the horses. The very fact that this is a race implies that winning will inevitably be more important to some people than the wellbeing of the horses who carry them the whole way.

You can ride them safely, humanely, and with appreciation-& then hand the reins to someone and do your next leg. Professional riders do this every day.

    Aside from the fact that this is not a derby... Or really a horse race. It is a mounted relay race. Aside from flat races over dirt or turf tracks (on the grass), and steeplechases (as in National Velvet and Champions - which was a true story, and the winner of the Grand National in that true movie was played by the horse himeself), there are also endurance races. The race known as the Tevis Cup covers 100 miles over the western Continental Divide and must be completed by the same horse and rider team, in under 24 hours. The horses are vetted at regular stops, and are not allowed to go on if they are not in top condition. The Mongols are certainly outstanding horsemen. (Gender neutral term) Their animals, which would be called ponies in any English speaking country as they stand less than 14.2 (fourteen hands, 2 inches, with 4 inches to a hand) at the withers (high point at the base off the neck), are amazing. It is good to see that they have not 'improved' them with crosses to horses from elsewhere.

    200 miles a day!?? Even though the terrain is mild, that is BRUTAL on the horses. Especially when competition spurs immature young girls to try to push them as hard as possible in order to win. Should be prizes for least abused horse and other incentives which don't rely on overworking the animals, like most weight lost by a rider during the race....

    you know they switch horses often? It's not one horse doing the whole 200 miles, buddy. These vet checks are also not just there for fun, either

    They have vet checks, resting points, etc... And arabs and other stamina breeds can be ridden up to 100 miles and over a day without a problem. They just need work and training, a lot of endurance built up. Mustangs make great endurance horses too. The vets also check each horse at each stop, if the horse is showing an signs of stress or exhaustion, the contestant is immediately kicked out of the race and/or severely penalized which as they explained, can be very painful to riders. The horses welfare is first always in races like this. They push the horse hard, they get nothing, not even a consolation prize. And you can't slow down the horse at the last half mile or so before the resting spot, or even spend forever at a stop resting your horse because they will still show signs of distress, even after a half hour rest. It's a time limit when you enter a rest stop on how long you can cool down your horse before going through the vet check. The horse is showing signs of not being able to bring it's vitals down after a certain amount of time, the rider is thrown out, no questions asked. These horses are probably the best cared for sport horses in any competition.

    In total the official length of it all is 14 days, which include 3 days of training before the race, but in total the race is about 10 days. This is though, also dependent on your skill level as most people aren't used to riding a horse from sunrise to sunset for 10 days and could very easily break a few people, I think there was one in this video who only lasted two days, which is sad but better than pushing yourself too far.

I see that all the participants used their own SADDLES either american or english wich is the most cruel thing thing to do.Why? because it's not what the horses are used to (UNCOMFORTABLE). Just look how the horses acting after few hours of ride :( . I am Mongolian and i don't like how they're treating horses to satisfy themselfs!!!

    That's what you get when all you care is about winning and you're created a rival who could have been a friend, since I think she let her emotions get the better of her and could care less about the horse. But that's America, we're all about winning ALONE and at ANY cost. As all she had to do is slow down get off and walk/jog along side the horse as obviously she weights 20+lbs more then her rival. I'd also have dropped any extra gear at the last checkpt, and ONLY gotten back on IF I saw my rival. THEN you can let loose and see which horse cools down first and since you had taken the weight off and slowed down you'd be the likely winner for sure.
