Mongolian nomads catching horses

A short edited version of the video I took while accompanying a primary school teacher on a summer excursion to “learn more about nomadic life in Mongolia.”
On this day, they captured four horses from amongst the grazing horses. They choose and capture the horses they need.
On this day they chose and captured horses suitable for riding.
Their horse riding skills are amazing.
There are other purposes for capturing horses, such as for milking, or because they need a fast horse to compete in the summer festival Naadam.
Horse capturing is also an important task for nomads.
