Now I'm hoping that Mongolian house game on Kickstarter actually gets made!

One of my ex gfs ... long after we broke up... actually literally did compete in, and successfully completed a long distance, multi day/week long endurance ride across basically all of Mongolia.

Like... literal world class equestrian skills.

The competition did not also include archery, but this was unneccesary: she was sufficiently skilled at putting an arrow through my heart when she dumped me almost two decades ago now.

=(

EDIT: Wow, I forgot, it actually gets more ironic:

While she did not practice archery with a compound bow...

She did actually practice Kyudo, traditional Japanese archery, at least back when we dated.

Basically a longbow, I don't think you could easily wield one, or do the... twist pull draw that easily while also at a cantor or gallup.

...

Combo (world class, apparently) horse girl and weaboo, was writing her own translated subtitles for Death Note at the time.

I guess I can take solace in saying this world class rider taught me how to ride a horse...

Too late to run.
