- Inspired by the lifestyle of Mongolian nomads, National Geographic adventurer Tim Cope set off on an epic journey. In three and a half years, he traveled 6,000 miles on horseback across the breadth of Genghis Khan's ancient empire-a trek that took him from Mongolia to Hungary. In this short interview from the Banff Centre, Cope talks about his rough start learning how to ride and care for horses.

Wow, i am Mongolian, but very jealous of this guy and very proud of him for doing what he did. Last time i ever rode a horse was 12 years ago. What a great guy. I wish that i could do something like he did. Maybe someday.
Huh
Do Mongols still frequently use horses?
@@kiirium horse back riding is a part of Mongolian tradition goes back to very long ago and it's embedded in these people
@@CalvinStoneTalks bro i forgot i commented this 💀 3 years ago
@@kiirium dang I didn't even realize
"Rush slowly" I like that
Just finished my own long ride across Ireland
hi i know this old i hope youll still see this. your experience sounds great but may i ask did strangers help you out of the goodness of their hearts or did you pay them? what happened when you couldnt find a place for the night?
@@lostboidavid we filmed our entire adventure. It's on my TH-cam channel if you want to watch and have all your questions answered.
How do you travel to different countries using horses? Do you need special permits to cross the border? Some sort of medical check ups for the horses?
Your horses need to be in very good shape and need to make sure you have all medical things taken care of, and if the horse gets sick on the journey you have to stop and take it back or take it to the vet
He is living the exact life I keep fantasizing about. Recently started planning how to make my fantasy a reality and came across this video. Nice!
"If you have to rush, rush slowly." Nice
"There's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."
Back in ancient times, It is normal to travel that far with a horse.
It should be a reward for a horse, not for a rider :D
I have a mighty need to do this
Loooooove it living without horses is like living without a soul they are part of who we are...there's nothing to come back to...only lost souls
I am in America and want to trade my car and all worldly possessions for a horse and fee survival tools but nobody gas wanted to trade yet
you could just sell your stuff and buy a horse and the basics what you need. If you want to get rid of the rest of your money then just donate to some poor person
I wouldn't have seen this video if a teacher I know hadn't played it in zoom class.
Anyone heard of "Unbranded"? It's legit amazing...
It's great to see that Tim is still doing what he loves.
this is beautiful
Great Video
Brilliant
Love❤
Love this story!
Did he ride Akhal-Tekes? Doesn't really look like it, too bad.
That is so much
Jesus saves
Good
more is needed more is needed
Wow
So brief! Damn NG
sub in english

Tenth commet
3 1/2 years did he get lost? LOL
He had to take brakes during the Siberian/Russian winters, raise money, find new horses (he wasn't allowed to take the mongol horses the whole distance) and his father died from a car accident while he was still on the way to the Danube - he travelled back to Australia for the funeral and had a really hard time coping with the loss.
poor horses.
Poor horses. They get to ridel the world instead of standing in a stall to be ridden by a pre-teen girl. Poor horses.
Hugtand Media poor horses, in the sense that they have to deal with humans.
At least the horse as a species don't go extinct because early humans found a use for them. Can't say that for the sabletooth tiger.
Mind you, (proper) humans treat horses with respect. No one wants to ride a shitty horse!
