Arkhangaï, Horsemen of the Steppes
The first horsemen that we know of lived in Asia, where they occupied over 5,000 square kilometres of steppe country.

Commissioned by the Emperor of China, Marco Polo travelled and traded throughout Central Asia for over 16 years. Entitled “The Description of the World”, the book written by Marco Polo after his return to Venice describes the lifestyle of these expert horsemen and the exceptional bond that existed between horse and rider - at work, at play and in war!

Cavalcades, trick-riding, liberty horses, caprioles and dressage can all be admired during this unforgettable show!

After the performance, come and visit the exhibition about falconry on horseback.
