Entitled ‘Thousands of Horses of the Steppe’, is an annual winter festival which takes place in Altanbulag soum, 50km from Ulaanbaatar on 18-19th of February. The winter horse festival has been organised by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism in cooperation with the Tuv provincial administration since 2015.

During the festival, horse racing, one of the so-called traditional 'three manly games', will take place over a short distance of 200-300 meters. Many other performances such as parade of horses of the same colour, lassoing and breaking in untamed backs are guaranteed to attract tourists.

Tourists from New Zealand, the UK and Asian countries have made plans to participate in the festival.
