A groundbreaking approach

Claudia Feh, who has spent more than 30 years observing free-living horses, has established herself as world expert on their behaviour. For the past decade Feh, originally from Switzerland, has been raising the world’s only natural herd of Przewalski horses, in France.

"I’ve always been interested in free-living horses, and the Przewalski is the world’s last truly wild horse.”

She reintroduced the first of two groups of 12 horses to the Mongolian steppes in September 2004, and will now ensure that local nomads and the international experts benefit equally from the initiative by sharing information in a pioneering learning forum in a village in western Mongolia.
