Mongolians loved their horses. Horse riding was an essential part of their culture, the training started at an early age. The Mongolian youngsters were taught how to tie, groom, lead, Saddle and bridle the horses very early on.
"The Mongolian wild horse is known in the West as the Prezewalski horse after the Russian naturalist, Nikolai Przewalski, who first sighted several herds in 1879. In Mongolia it is called Takhi and it is purported to be largely unchanged since the time of Genghis Khan (ca. late 12th - early 13th century). The word Takhi means "spirit," a reference to the horse's fierce independence and untameable nature." https://www.fei.org/news/landlocked-yet-plentiful-%E2%80%93-mongolia%E2%80%99s-rich-equestrian-history
