How to travel on horseback?
What is the best way to become a horseback rider when you live in a city? The closest options are taking a 'lesson' for 2 hours and then pretty much you are left on your own. I think travelling across Mongolia on a horse would be cool!

There's an Australian guy named Tim Cope who rode horseback solo from Mongolia to Budapest over three years around 2004.
He now does guided treks in the area that you could join for about $5000.
As one of the testimonials says:
I cannot praise the whole team enough..... It was a dream come true: to ride in the wake of Genghis Khan, on a Mongolian horse, wrapped in a deel!
