Have you ever been dreaming about riding solo across Mongolia? To make this dream come true there’s a lot you need to know. At Stepperiders we will teach you everything you need to know in a condensed time frame. Get no-nonsense, down-to-earth planning and advice including:
Horses: Stepperiders rents reliable horses for solo-trek. You will be taught how to ride your horse and manage a pack horse. How to take care of your horse(s) and be safe.
Tack: We will show you how to pack your equipment and secure it on your horse(s). It is possible to rent from us the equipment for the riding horses and pack-horses.
Itinerary: where to find water and grass for your horses, terrain, dangers etc
Communicating with herders: how to ask for lodging or food to a herder family, how much to pay, customs.
Culture: customs, taboos, dos and don’ts.
Language: essential Mongolian language phrases.
Safety: dangers and annoyances, horse thieves. You have to prepare an emergency plan in case of injury: who to contact, nearest hospital, insurance etc. We highly recommend you bring a satellite phone and GPS tracker with emergency button.
Behind those big brown eyes: understanding the Mongolian horse.
You will decide how many days you want to stay and which topics you need to focus on. Usually people train for 5 to 7 days before to start their solo trek. The minimum training for people renting our horses is 5 days and horses can only be rented from May 15th (possibility to start the training early May).
We charge $95 per person per day for solo training, this includes all meals and accommodation in a ger. You will be training with the experienced horsemen, so please decide on your dates as soon as possible, then contact us to get your deposit in to lock in those dates.
We rent horses and equipment only.
No guide is included — this is a true independent solo trek experience.
To rent our horses, you must:
complete at least 5 days of training
inform us in advance so we can prepare horses and equipment
demonstrate safe riding and handling during training
Our horses are well-trained, calm, and reliable, making them far safer than purchasing a random horse from a herder — which can be unpredictable for long journeys.
For this reason, we strongly recommend trekking with our horses.
700 USD per horse (same price for riding horses and pack horses)
175 USD refunded after 10 days when the horse is returned safely
Equivalent to a 25% safety deposit returned at camp
150 USD for riding horse equipment, including:
saddle
bridle
hobbles
sticks
ropes
saddlebags
50 USD for pack horse equipment
ropes
hobbles
sticks

You may bring your own equipment if you prefer.
We recommend preparing your gear early so you can practice packing during training.
Before your trek, you should have an idea of where you would like to travel.
Our team will help you refine and finalize the best and safest route, based on:
weather conditions
water and grass availability
your riding level
your time frame
seasonal access
We will make sure you start your journey fully prepared.
Solo trekking requires responsible preparation.
You must have a personal emergency plan, including:

insurance emergency number
international emergency clinic contacts (we recommend SOS Medica)
