Wondering where to see this grand spectacle? 👉 The "Spirit of Mongolian Horse Cup" China Horse Capital Xilingol Mongolian Horse Super League lets you enjoy it all at once! 🏇 The league passionately kicked off on November 18 in Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, Xilingol League, gaining attention and coverage from CCTV. The event will last for two months! 🎉 From this winter to next spring, a series of exciting ice and snow activities will be launched one after another! 👏 Xiwuzhumuqin Banner is known as the "Hometown of White Horses in China," famous for producing white steeds. These horses are small in stature but strong and unique, historically the exclusive imperial horses during Genghis Khan’s era, a rare and excellent local horse breed! 🚛 Recently, 15 beautifully shaped white horses traveled over 3,000 kilometers to Qiji (Shenzhen) International Equestrian Club, contributing to the promotion and high-quality development of the Xilingol "pony" horse brand and horse industry! ⬇️ 【Xilingol Mongolian Horse Super League】 ⏳ Event Duration From November 18, 2023, to January 28, 2024. ⏰ Schedule ✔ Village-level competitions from November 18 to December 5. ✔ Township-level competitions from December 10 to December 20. ✔ Banner, county, and city-level competitions from December 30 to January 15, 2024. ✔ The grand finals are scheduled for January 27-28, 2024. 🏆 Events 🏇 15 km Endurance Race: An individual race covering a straight 15 km distance on the grassland, testing the endurance of Mongolian horses. 🏇 6000 m Team Relay Race: A team event with no horse breed restrictions, consisting of 3 people and 3 horses per team. Each segment is 2000 meters, with relay exchanges until the finish line to determine the ranking. 🎉 Exciting Experiences for Visitors ✅ Sightseeing ❄️ Winter in Xilingol League is covered in silver-white snow. The Xilingol grasslands and Hunshandake sandy land are blanketed in snow, serene and magnificent, with a unique charm.
