From Crib to Saddle: A Dive into Mongolia's Child Jockey Culture

Subscribe to    / @robloak  
It is said that Mongolian children are put on horses by their parents before they can even walk. 

In the midst of the grasslands and under the vast skies, horses hold immense significance.

The connection between horses and Mongolians can be traced back to the era of Genghis Khan. This is why horseback riding is an integral part of life here, and it also serves as a national sport.

However, horse racing competitions occasionally include children as young as 7 years old, which raises concerns about potential risks and whether the rights of child jockeys are being violated.

This episode has been filmed in 2019.
