Mongolians are expert horsemen. One Mongolian, named the "Axe Hero", apparently could pick up silver dollars while riding full gallop.
I am not an expert horseman. We proved this just the other day. Fortunately Nic could ride, although this made my embarrassing attempt at riding look even sillier...
We rode 5km to a rock called "turtle rock", which looked rather like a rock to me, but I was busy trying to hold on for dear life on the flimsy Mongolian saddle while the guides smacked the horse's arse with a stick to make it gallop at break-neck speeds.
Our guides were cheeky little monkeys. They took a shine to Nic and found my riding highly amusing.
