Welcome to Episode 4 of Endurance Horse Podcast
Hosted by Christina Hyke
Sponsored by Christina Hyke Photography, LLC
In Episode 4 we are going to hear from fascinating riders from across the globe. We are going to hear Daryl Owen’s National Championships ride report from New Zealand. Also from New Zealand, Jenny Chandler’s first time sending in an audio file, another wonderful Marvel rider from down under, Kat & her musical ways (thanks to Kat, I had several songs stuck in my head for days). We will also hear from the land of Billy the Kid, thanks to our wonderful south west rider, Keisha Wood, be sure to check out Keisha’s blog for more updates, stories and photographs on her journeys.
We will also hear from Tennessee Lane, be sure to check out her SoCo Endurance page & links listed here. Also, I had reached out to several ride managers to send in an audio telling us about their ride, and I heard back from a rider to tell us all about the great Shore to Shore Ride in Michigan. This is the first of what I hope to be more, if you would like to feature your favorite endurance ride on the podcast, please email me and I will send you the interview guide for the ride management.
All of this and so much more, including an update from one of our precious young riders, and also an intro/first time file from Karly, down under. We would also like to welcome Amanda from Virgina with her three horses, Candy (POA), 1/2 Arabian son of Candy & Oliver who was recently pulled from a feedlot. Oliver is an Egyptian Arabian. We will hear from FEI Endurance rider Melissa Coolich of Coolich Endurance. She has an amazing story of overcoming a health crisis to be able to compete. Thank you to Melissa for her inspiring story of healing and sharing your passion for endurance. I’d also like to welcome Lindy Griffith of Florida, and her Rocky MTN Maxwell and Chief (Arab/Rocky MTN). These sound like wonderful horses to ride.
Be sure to send me some more audio files, I will create the episodes as I get the files in! We all enjoy listening in, so please be brave & share your story.

Hello & welcome to Endurance Horse Podcast!
I’m so glad you could join us. How was your holiday weekend? Ours was pretty laid
back, though I have to say, for some reason my husband, Jim, really spoiled me starting on
Thursday. He showed up with a beautiful bouquet of flowers,
made sure I had time to ride that night and then on Friday morning he cooked me breakfast & sent me off with one of my favorite horses & a good friend for a nice, long, trail ride. And to top it off by the time I got back from my ride there was a homemade pot of artichoke soup simmering on the stove.
In case you are wondering, I had a great trail ride with my little sorrel mare, Grace. Grace had not been on the trails in sometime, though she was amazing and happy to be out there. Grace is happy to leave the other horses and find her own journey, even if it was just going off to search for Tara’s lost glove, which, by the way, I don’t think has been found yet.
There are several man made obstacles on one of the loops we ride on and Grace rushed over to each obstacle as if to prove she truly should be the horse that I take out on EVERY ride. She was eager to please and is such a snuggle horse, and I love her so much! I would love to hear about how your extended weekend was, did you find time for horses, kick back and relax or did you travel?
In Episode 2 we are going to hear from some new riders, get some updates, ride reports, a humorous Tevis memory from our Canadian friend. We will also be introduced to two very adorable, very young riders that I hope will continue to send in files throughout the season! Without, further ado, I to bring to you, Episode 2 of the Endurance Horse Podcast.
Thank you all for listening, and thank you especially to those who emailed in your stories. Alice and Bailey- we are looking forward to listening to your stories this year girls, so keep sending in your files!
To hear your story on Endurance Horse Pocast, email your audio stories to endurancehorsepodcast@gmail.com Ideally the files should be from 2 to 7 minutes in length.
Goodbye for now, this is your host, Christina Hyke wife, mom, friend, equine photographer and life long horsewoman, signing off and saying ride far, ride well, ride often.

I am in the process of setting up the podcast and this is litterally the recording from the moment I had the idea. No, there is no intro yet, no magical music intro yet, just me an a horse. I wanted to publish just this short intro, and say hello & this is what we are hoping for, to hear from riders across the globe! To listen to your story and share our own. Now, I simply need some wonderful volunteers to send in a recording! Thank you to Jen for being the first one to send in her audio! Now can I persuade 10 more of you? It can be from anywhere, at the barn or from the couch! What do we want to hear? Introduce yourself, where you are from, tell us a bit about your horse(s) and your goals for the year. Maybe even give a tip on what to pack in your trailer for a long weekend away from home! What I really want to get to is who you are, what the riding is like, maybe your favorite trail and lots about your horse & what you love about him or her. I'd love to hear what you are working on this season and how it is going. Then the next month episode you can send in an update and by then maybe even a report from your favorite endurance ride!!! This could be so awesome! Please fill up my brand new email box with loads of voice recording:
