Plate note: The social landscape of Khui Doloon Khudag after the races. Spectators, riders, and families move away on foot, by motorbike, and on horseback, some returning to Ulaanbaatar, others continuing into the gatherings, hospitality, and celebrations that follow. As the racing ground begins to empty, the day’s public spectacle gives way to the social life of Naadam. Location: Khui Doloon Khudag, Naadam, 12 July 2026. Photograph: T. Monhtsetseg.
