Something needs to be said about that. The Mongols mode of transportation is also their logistics train. Each Mongol warrior rides 5 horses. During a fast march, he would pick one horse to drink blood from to keep up his strength until he puts the horse down for good for a meal.

In times of desperation, he can eat up to four horses (or share as an army goes) and arrive fresh enough for battle.
