Well, there's bubonic plague here in California too, has been for many years.
Reading more, going through the entire website, it looks to not be quite as bad as it was made out to be... but it is still bad. And pointless. I feel for the horses. While they are only using people who are supposed to be experienced riders, and they're supposed to have vets on hand, still. It is lame. And will the horses really be in condition to safely do this? People have a romantic view of Mongolians and their horses, but... Not sure that's a realistic view.
In their own races, for example, apparently many horses and riders die.
And of course people make a lot of excuses for the condition of the horse in this picture.
"You don't understand the culture and are racist."
"Mongolian horses are different than Western horses."
"Race horses are supposed to look like that."
