Mongolia (The Land of Horses)
The name 'Mongolia' has always stirred up visions of the untamed
and exotic - the warlord Genghis Khan, camels wandering in
the Gobi Desert and wild horses galloping across the steppes.
Mongolia, situated between the two giant country China and
Russia, is known as the land of horses. It is said that the
number of horses are twice than the population of Mongolia.
As a property, Mongol people boast by counting the number
of horses they possess. For them, what is important is a horse.
The country is full of fallow lands, meadows and icy streams.
Currently Mongolians are suffering from a lack of infrastructure
and support, and a couple of harsh winters have decimated
herds and bought the country to near starvation.
