In Mongolia in July every year the Naadam Festival takes place, every town has one. The Tsetserleg Naadam is small, only wrestling and a horse race take place. The horse race is cross-country, c20kms, the jockeys are usually young boys, although there were some girls, the lighter the better...riding helmets, unlikely.
