Marco Polo rode on various types of horses during his travels, primarily those found in Central Asia and the regions he explored, such as Mongolia. The Mongolian horses, known for their hardiness and endurance, were particularly suited for the long journeys he undertook along the Silk Road. These horses were smaller than typical European breeds but well-adapted to the harsh climates and rugged terrains of the areas Polo traversed.
