Mongolia🇲🇳Surviving a forest run without decapitation

After fifteen minutes, the German guy claimed he couldn’t walk any further because his knee couldn’t handle that kind of distance, even though I distinctly remembered him asking me the day before if he could join me for a two-day hike in the mountains in case horse riding didn’t work out. Anyway, the English guys and I preferred being on the horses as well. My horse was actually easier to control while riding than when walking because it had a strong inclination to go left, which I had to compensate for by leaning my full weight against the horse to the right. The forest that followed was quite a challenge because our horses had no idea that our heads were much higher and our legs wider than theirs. I have no idea how, but we all made it through without decapitation or amputated legs.
