The life of Mongols both in the past and present is unimaginable without the horse. Pastoral livestock keeping, in which there is animal herding, keeping watch, watering, driving to new pastures and looking for lost animals, is the mainstay of their economy and would be virtually impossible without this animal. Mongols even worship the horse as it is a symbol of the energy of life, of the sacred fire, of enthusiasm, and the intermediary force between the world of humans and of spirits and the term horse is often used to convey such thoughts. The horse has played such a vital role in the life of the nomads for so many years that the horse symbol is always one of the most favoured by them, whether it be at the end of the handle of folk music instruments, the horse-head fiddle, state emblem or religious worship |
