THE ALL MUSTANGS EPISODE OF ENDURANCE HORSE PODCAST
Created September 6, 2019 
Hello and Welcome to Episode 25 of Endurance Horse Podcast!
What do you think of when you hear the word MUSTANG? The iconic wild west horses running through the landscape? The P51 MUSTANG tearing through the skies of WWII? Or maybe the sleek design of Ford’s famous muscle car? Well this month, the cover of Endurance News is graced with the image of the kind of Mustang that this podcast is about today!
As mentioned above, when you get your Endurance News in the mail for September 2019, look closely at that young rider, her smile and the mustang that is carrying her all the way…..

Welcome to
Episode 24 of
Endurance Horse Podcast
Created August 21, 2019
Hello and Welcome to Episode 24 of Endurance Horse Podcast!
I’m Christina Hyke, an equine photographer based in Southern Wisconsin.
This episode is focused on the non traditional endurance horse.
First, I wanted to share with you something I learned at the Midwest Horse Fair this year. I had a vendor booth there for my photography & it gave me a good segue to also share my love of distance riding with other riders. What I learned shocked me a little bit- here I was at an event that is plum full of riders from all over the Midwest- this is a 3 day horse fair in Madison Wisconsin that boasts over 300 educational clinics/seminars in three days, over 500 vendors and typically sees over 61,000 attendees.
At this horse owner filled event - most (as in likely over 70%) of the people I talked with about endurance had no idea what it was. Let that sink in. At a horse fair. Horse people did not know what endurance is.
The second thing I learned was that when I met riders who did know what endurance was- they thought it was a west coast only sport. Even though there are 56 rides hosted in the Midwest Region.
The third thing I learned was that the riders who did know what endurance was - did not think they could do it because they did not own an Arabian. Some people also felt they were too old, that the sport is for those under 25.
This podcast is to encourage those riders who maybe thinking of trying distance riding- that you can do it with any sound horse that you condition up well.
Some breeds of horses, generally, fair better in higher temperatures/humidity than others and some horse breeds in general do have naturally lower heart rates- though I would like to tell you that here are some horse owners that are riding a non traditional breed in endurance and they are loving it.
To confirm that the Arabian & the half Arabian are the go to horse in the sport I reached out to Mike Maul & AERC. Here are the 2018 numbers of breeds entered at AERC rides. Thank you Mike for providing the numbers & thank you AERC office for always being so helpful on the phone or by emails.
It is easy to see by the statistics Mike Maul so kindly sent to me that Arabian & half Arabian horses are not just seemingly the dominant breed in endurance- they surely out number the rest, easily. However, there are many great qualities to other breeds & this inspiration for episode 24 is to encourage you to try the breed you already have or the one you love.
I am sharing as the first audio in this episode, the before/during and after of my little 13 year old mare’s first LD with me, just over a week ago on August 10th.
I followed a conditioning plan, a few hiccups along the way (hoof abscess) Though much training & prayers- we got there.
I’m sharing Grace’s update on this episode because she was basically a love baby. She is by our Trakehner Karino’s Fire & our of our paint mare- Baily 💖 we intended Grace to maybe be shown in dressage- or trail ride. Certainly never pictured her as an endurance prospect. Though here I am, sharing with you the audio of our non traditional horse, a much adored mare, a big puppy dog personality.....without further ado, here is my emotional moment out somewhere between mile 21/22 when I knew that she was going to finish strong.
Thank you Grace for such an enjoyable ride- and all the rides we rode to condition to get to this point. Thanks for being the horse that added to my record & carried that 25 miles closer to my 1,000 mile goal. Here’s Grace…..as a few hours young filly. Am sharing this image of Jim walking with her for the first time, as he has been by my side all of the way, and also because this is how I kept seeing her on my ride, that is part of what caused emotion to swell, the other part that got me was the song “Flawless” that kept playing in my mind. It has the verse of “Grace, Grace, God’s Grace….” And I felt that it truly was the prayers that helped her abscess heal in time for the ride. So there was that to make me emotional at mile 21, her as a baby and also the fact that the conditioning plan had worked. I knew this was the right ride for her to begin.
Grace settled into her campsite August 9, 2019. She is amazing.
Love this little mare so much.

Endurance Horse Podcast
Created August 15, 2019
Hello and Welcome to Episode 23 of Endurance Horse Podcast!
I’m Christina Hyke, an equine photographer based in Southern Wisconsin.
Since the beginning of Endurance Horse Podcast, Australia has been a part of the podcast. And one of the most wonderful things about the podcast is its ability to connect riders from all parts of the world. It is through those connections that I first learned of the Tom Quilty Gold Cup, a one day, 100 mile endurance ride based in Australia and inspired by the Tevis Cup.
*If you are new to endurance riding, you may hear different riders were first- that is because there is are weight divisions with placings as well as a Jr. rider division. The TQ 2019 had an amazing story in that Jolene Cole placed first HW rider & BC, along side her daughter, Emma, who was also first place Jr and BC. Flame, the horse that Emma was riding is from the same line of Chip Chase Sadaqa that Emma's grandfather, Peter Cole, rode to a Quilty win many years ago. This family has endurance legacy running in their veins! Thank you Emma and Jolene for sharing your journey & history, what a dream come true for you and your daughter.
In this episode of the podcast we are going to hear from the dauntless crew of Marvel Endurance, and yes, Kat- I caught that 'End Game' reference in your audio ;) (Marvel fan girl over here too) <3
Kat gives an excellent report of what it is like to be a sleepless crew, challenges of staying up beat, find the horse and keep the rider moving forward! Oh, yes, and documenting in photos & updates! Kat did an amazing job of keeping us all updated, even if her sleep deprivation had her wondering what hour, what loop...what day? It was. God Bless the strappers!

It is through those connections that I first learned of the Tom Quilty Gold Cup, a one day, 100 mile endurance ride based in Australia and inspired by the Tevis Cup.
Sydney, Australia- April 5th 1966, a hotel was the location for a gathering of 23 riders who were meeting to discuss the possibility of Australia having a one day, 100 mile ride of it’s own. In that room, was back in 1966 the 23 people agreed and formed a committee to create a ride formatted after the Tevis Cup held across the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the United States. The Tevis had held its first ride in 1955, a decade prior to the formation of the Tom Quilty Gold Cup.
In celebration of the 53rd running of the Quilty, I would like to welcome Bob Sample to the podcast. Bob has a long history with the Quilty. His family has four generations of riders winning several Tom Quilty Gold Cups, Bob among them. Bob has been kind enough to send us a brief summary of the Quilty to kick off episode 22.

The BIG HORN Episode of Endurance Horse Podcast
Episode 21 
Welcome to
The Big Horn 100 episode of
Endurance Horse Podcast
Created July 27/28th 2019 (yes I pulled an all nighter again Daryl Owen)
Hello and Welcome to episode 21 of Endurance Horse Podcast!
I’m Christina Hyke, an equine photographer based in Southern Wisconsin
Today is July 27th, 2019.
When I learned that both Bridget and Dante were headed to the Big Horn 100 it inspired me to dedicate this episode of Endurance Horse Podcast to the Big Horn 100. The Big Horn 100 predates the creation of the AERC, American Endurance Ride Conference, that is an impressively long running ride! If you have been doing endurance very long, chances are you have heard of the Big Horn 100.
Shell, Wyoming is the base camp of the legendary Big Horn 100 mile, 1 day ride. Twice this ride has been host to the Race of Champions, and a champion you must be to ride from the elevation of 4,000 feet rising to the climb of 10,000 feet elevation. The Big Horn is a single loop of some of the most challenging, rugged and beautiful trail that America has to offer. It has been told to me by more than one rider that the difficulty of this trail rivals that of the Tevis Cup. I, personally, cannot say, as I have not ridden either trail, though I feel honored to share the stories from this trail with you, and maybe some of you are hearing about this ride for the first time and will hear the call of the Big Horn Mountains and take up the challenge to ride through climbing mountains, wild flowers and wild weather. Can you hear it? The Big Horn is calling you.
This year Big Horn 100 was managed by Cindy Collins. Cindy loves this ride and from all the good feedback I have seen online and in the files that have been sent to the podcast, the riders truly love Cindy and the Big Horn- the descriptions given have surely made the Big Horn a ride to aspire to and one to never forget. I am thankful to each of the riders who took the time to share their audio from Big Horn 2019. One of my favorite audios is from a rider traveled all the way from Maryland to see the Big Horn, one of her bucket list rides, get checked off of her list. Peggy Thompson has been riding endurance longer than the current AERC website has been keeping records. Peggy will share her journey on the 50 mile endurance ride at the Big Horn 2019, though before she does, here is a short history of the Big Horn.
Greybull, Wyoming, 1970 was the setting for a meeting of the Canyon Cavaliers Saddle Club. It was during this meeting that local rider, Dale Perkins mentioned an article he had read about a 100 mile, 1 day ride that traversed over the Sierra Mountains in California. The beloved Big Horn mountain was right in the backyard of the Canyon Cavaliers Saddle Club and Dale said that there was no reason why there couldn’t be a ride like one that hosted here, over the club’s much loved Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming.
The idea was well received by the club, though they needed help to create such a ride. They sought out advice from a Laramie veterinarian who they had heard had actually ridden in the Western States 100 Mile One Day ride, also known as the Tevis Cup. The young veterinarian Dr. David Nicholson agreed to travel to Greybull and share his insight into what it would take to manage a 100 mile, 1 day endurance ride in the Big Horn Mountains. And, thus, with a good idea, much homework and planning, the Big Horn 100 Mile, Inc. was formed, Tom Van Gelder was elected first president and created The Big Horn 100, Inc into a 501 c3 non-profit. So there you have it, in the fall of 1970 the concept of the Big Horn 100 began and the organization of the 501 c3 called the Big Horn 100, Inc. was established in 1971. The AERC, American Endurance Ride Conference was established in 1972.
Thanks to all the riders who sent in, we have another great collection of ride stories. Head on over to our facebook group to connect with more of the story through the images/videos that riders share there.
Without further ado, I bring to you the Big Horn episode of Endurance Horse Podcast, may you be encouraged, inspired and find a few riders you can relate to or at the very least, laugh with! Please let me know how you are enjoying the podcast by sending us an email.

Endurance Horse Podcast - Episode 19
Welcome to Episode 19 of the Endurance Horse Podcast
Publishing on July 1st 2019.
The weather through May/June for Wisconsin was a little wet, though mostly beautiful. Today we are welcoming in July with some hotter weather and a threat of storms for a week! Just yesterday high winds caused a large tree to fall across our driveway, and also our lean to to blow over onto it’s back! With the help of two ropes, Jim & I on the ends of them, and three strong kiddos on the backside of the lean to we where able to muscle it over. Farm kids are good kids :)
In episode 19 you will hear from a Montana rider, Joy Kinion, with her first time sending in to the podcast. I had contacted Joy, not knowing that she and Bridget had a connection and it was neat to learn that it was actually Joy’s daughter who had came along to the Fort Howes ride to watch Bridget’s daughter! Mom’s helping moms! I encourage you if you use Instagram to follow Bridget @thismomrides
It is winter in New Zealand & we will hear from two of our favorite Kiwis, Daryl Owen and Jenny Chandler and how winter is going for them there!
Erin Glassman shares her experience of her first 100 and Brooke Spears shares about her very recent first 50 in Texas. I love all the stories that got sent in for this episode (what’s not to love?) Dawn Kerr’s audio has some very intriguing family ties to Tevis history to it, and somehow cows keep showing up in this podcast in Dawn’s post and one other…I think I have heard of two endurance riders who actually had taught cows to ride around the farm when they were young girls!
And last, though certainly not least! One of my favorite Marvel Endurance riders from Down Under, Adriana Sardoni, gives us an update before she heads for the Tom Quilty Cup. best of luck to you and Victoria! I do believe that Jenny Chandler, Victoria and Adriana are going to do a meet up at the Quilty so we all look forward to hearing from them later in July!
Without further ado, I bring to you episode 19 of Endurance Horse Podcast, may you be encouraged, inspired and find a few riders you can relate to or at the very least, laugh with! Please let me know how you are enjoying the podcast by sending us an email.
Now I'm off to grab my camera and create some images!

Publishing on June 1st 2019
It is May in Wisconsin, and the weather has been absolutely beautiful, mostly because we are SO happy it quit raining! The trails are gorgeous, the horses are all shedded out, humming birds are at the feeders and fluffy youngsters are waddling along beside their momma & poppa goose parents! Today Jim & I went out on a 4 mile hike with the kiddos & saw two very fluffy sandhill crane babies strolling along with their parents, as well as too many young geese to count.
Spring is certainly here and summer is just around the bend.
In episode 18 you will hear from one of our Australian friends as she recounts her first time ever riding a 50 mile (80k), you will also hear in the podcast for the first time New Zealand rider, Jane Ferguson as she shares of her adventures into her first 100 mile ride and how a mid to back of the pack horse progressed to 100 miles (160k), Tara Leroy does an interview with Kim Jaye as she recounts her (very recent) first ever novice ride of 12 miles (20k), Tennessee Lane discusses the importance of conditioning more than just muscles and also a bit about how she achieved her goals at the recent Mount Carmel XP. I give an update on my Gracie Girl & her trip to the vet hospital for a check up.
Without further ado, I bring to you episode 18 of Endurance Horse Podcast, may you be encouraged, inspired and find a few riders you can relate to or at the very least, laugh with! Please let me know how you are enjoying the podcast by sending us an email.
Thank you for indulging me while I go on about Grace, you know how it is when someone lets you talk about your horse....I literally can go on and on about her <3

Endurance Horse Podcast - Episode 17
Publishing on April 27th 2019.
Welcome to Episode 17 of the Endurance Horse Podcast
It is April in Wisconsin, so one day could be beautiful, 70 degree weather, like when I recorded the intro/outro for this episode and then by today (the following week) when I am stitching together episode 17- it is 30 degrees and snowing! It wont last long, I’m sure we will back to seeing turtles sunbathing on the logs in our front pond, frogs singing us to sleep at night and enjoying a bonfire and the sunny trails again soon.
In episode 17 you will hear about a national champion TN Walking horse, an American Quarter horse working on their second season working on 50’s, hear about Keisha’s first time night riding, an update from a young rider and so much more! Tune in to hear from riders across the globe!
Without further ado, I bring to you episode 17 of Endurance Horse Podcast, may you be encouraged, inspired and find a few riders you can relate to or at the very least, laugh with! Please let me know how you are enjoying the podcast by sending us an email.
Check out the links provided in the show notes as they have additional links to resources that relate to riders or events mentioned in the podcast.
