LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DERBY [HERE]

Steppe and Hoof is a non-profit organization which has been set up to help herders and their animals in Mongolia. From a total population of 3.2 million Mongolian people, only about 169,000 nomadic families remain today.

Climate change and urbanization are contributing to the rapid disappearance of one of the world's last traditional nomadic life styles. Mongolian herders are unique in that they depend solely on their animal herds for their existence. Our goal is to try to save the unique traditions that are part of the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle. We are doing this by giving herders the modern tools and knowledge they need to keep their livestock healthy and productive. Even more importantly, we are trying to reverse the migration of herders into cities by re-establishing these families in the countryside with their necessary livestock.


Mongolian herders are extremely self sufficient people and only need a little modern help from us to put them back on track to their traditional way of life they have lived for a millennium.

Race is August 7th to 16th, 2024
