The Year of the Fire Horse symbolizes intense energy and bold adventure, making it an ideal time for transformative equestrian travel experiences worldwide. Notable highlights include Mongolia’s Naadam Festival, a national celebration featuring the “three manly games” of horse racing, archery, and wrestling. Despite logistical challenges in attending all events, specialized tours like Stone Horse’s multi-day treks offer immersive experiences with guided access to races and ceremonies, blending cultural insight with horseback exploration.

In addition to Mongolia, Japan’s Kobuchizawa region offers popular horse-riding opportunities, particularly for guests at the wine resort Risonare Yatsugatake in Yamanashi prefecture. These destinations exemplify how travelers can embrace the adventurous spirit of the Fire Horse year through memorable equestrian activities that connect them with local traditions and landscapes.
