Autumn Clarke Shares her Tales from the Mongol Derby!

Autumn Clarke returns from her exciting time competing in the Mongol Derby and is coming to Hands and Hearts for Horses to share about her experiences!

The Mongol Derby is the longest and toughest horse race in the world. A decade after launching the race that title is still being backed up by riders year after year.

In 1224 man of the millennium Chinggis Khaan set up the world’s first long-distance postal transmission system. Using a massive network of horse stations – ‘morin urtuus’ in Mongolian – his hardy messengers could gallop from Kharkhorin to the Caspian sea in a number of days.

For ten days each August, the Mongol Derby recreates this legendary system, building a network of urtuus at 35km intervals along the entire thousand kilometre course.

We are so fortunate to have someone in our area who has gotten to compete in this race and are so excited for her to share about her experiences!

This is a FREE event!
