Julia Roberts and Mongolian wild horses

[qhflicka]

I just found this article and thought I would share it with you.
Julia lived with a nomadic Mongolian tribe and got to share their special bond with their horses. The horses do not run off even though there are no fences.

The Przewalski's Horse was hunted to extinction in Mongolia. It has been reintroduced to their native lands. They were bred in captivity.

Here is a video of this ancient horse breed being reintroduced.
They are a weird looking breed with their very short necks.

Enjoy!!

There are 5 videos on youtube showing Julia's stay with the Mongolian nomads.
Here is the link to number 5, showing a children's horse race.
Children learn to ride at age two. They are tied to the saddle.
As a western mother I worry about these children not wearing helmets.
