Welcome to Episode 53 of Endurance Horse Podcast.
April 24th of 2021 was the day I turned 50 and I wanted it to be a memorable occasion. So Jim and I loaded up a rented van with two of our sons and our German Shepard and headed out our Wisconsin driveway bound for St. Joseph Missouri as our destination. We were on a mission to visit two museums, one way station and also to present the National Pony Express Museum with the 16 x 20 large wooden plaque engraved with the names of 500 riders in our Pony Express 1900 Mile Challenge.
The Pony Express 1900 Mile Challenge has been popular with our listeners and the riders of the WARHORSE Endurance Challenges as we help to promote and preserve the Pony Express National Museum. We believe that the Pony Express Museum is a unique part of equine history and one that is deserving of preservation.
We hope you enjoy a stroll down this very unique part of equine history where horses and riders were the main characters in the story.
Without further ado,
I bring to you episode 53 of Endurance Horse Podcast, The Pony Express National Museum.

Lynn Atcheson & Banner
Tevis 2021
created by: Christina Hyke
December 23, 2021
We are soon wrapping up our 4th year of YEAR of ENDURANCE HORSE PODCAST and trotting on strongly into 2022, year 5!
Endurance Horse Podcast first aired in March of 2018, we have averaged 12 episodes per year and have stayed free and commercial free for our listeners. And most importantly I hope Endurance Horse Podcast is known as a place on the airwaves that always champions the horse and rider no matter which place they come in. I know the AERC motto is To finish is to Win, though I believe to saddle up and to show up takes courage and I will always champion you for trying, for daring to place your heart and your horse at the starting line.
Wooohooo! Is all I can say about wrapping up the past 4 years of podcasting! We are at over 40,000 downloads! I honestly remember being in awe when we reached 256 downloads! It seems the podcast has filled a niche for riders who love to go the distance and spend time out in nature with their horses, those who love the process of conditioning, camping and making memories together. As my friend Mary Ellen always says, every mile a smile!
It is always a joy to get to talk with Tevis riders, and especially one that so many of our WARHORSE Endurance family were following on the Tevis 2021 online tracker. Can you imagine being 2 miles from the finish line and having to pull? That is what happened to our next guest, Lynn Atcheson of Washington State. Lynn’s horse, Banner has a distinctive look with his bright coloring and roached mane, I have admired his photos on facebook for sometime and all the beautiful images Lynn shares of him. I was surprised to learn that he is 21 years old! I was cheering for them watching the online tracker provided by Tevis. Their ride took a turn for the worse and the official miles they accomplished that day were just shy of 98. Can you imagine pulling that close to the finish line?
You are invited to listen in while Lynn and I chat about how she got into horses, endurance and her 2021 Tevis ride.
Without further ado, I bring to you, episode 51 of Endurance Horse Podcast:
Email your audio stories to endurancehorsepodcast@gmail.com
Ideally the files should be from two to 7 minutes in length.

Hello & welcome to the 50th episode of Endurance Horse Podcast. Today on Endurance Horse Podcast we will be talking with Lisanne Fear and Hannah Catalino. Lisanne and Hannah are embarking on a wild ride across America to inspire adoptions of living legends. They began on the Delaware shores following along the American Discovery Trail Southern Route. Lisanne & Hannah plan to be at the Celebration of the Horse on October 2nd from 10am to 4pm in Queen Anne Maryland hosted at the Tuckahoe Equestrian Center.
It is their hope to help people discover how truly incredible these wild horses are, so Hannah and Lisanne are riding 5,000 miles across America to inspire the adoption of 5,000 mustangs.
We are celebrating the 50th episode of Endurance Horse Podcast, though also 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. Velma B. Johnston, also known as “Wild Horse Annie, worked tirelessly to protect the Mustang, and now 50 years later we have two young riders on Endurance Horse Podcast carrying on the Legacy of Wild Horse Annie to protect and preserve America’s Horse on America’s Trail.

Growing up in Wyoming, Lisanne loves to inspire others to adopt wild horses. Her home state provides stunning backdrops while she shows what these wild horses are capable of. Lisanne brings with her formal survival and emergency response training, experience packing her horses into the wilderness, and a passion for the outdoors. From a young age, Lisanne has had an internal appetite to test her boundaries. A 5,000 mile ride from coast to coast fits quite well on her path.
Hannah Catalino- Montana, USA

Training mustangs at liberty is Hannah’s specialty. She has traveled internationally to do so, eagerly sharing her wealth of knowledge. While at her Montana home, Hannah spends long days in pursuit of equine development. She has a natural talent for approaching these wild animals with an even-tempered tone and poised energy, building a relationship of trust and confidence. Hannah is excited to explore more of her own country from the back of her personal mustangs.

Natalie also rode along side her 12 year old daughter, Kyla Law who was riding one of the most recognizable equines at the 2021 Tevis Cup aboard her 11.2 hh Hackney Pony known world wide now as Flash, his registered name is Piece of Perfection.
This mother / daughter team finished a very respectable 36th and 37th in the 2021 Tevis Cup aboard what is arguably non traditional endurance horse and pony. Natalie will tell you that Flash was Brave’s emotional support pony and also share some excitement about a rattler that Flash encountered out on the trail pre ride!
