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!

Endurance Horse Podcast - Episode 18
Welcome to Episode 18 of the Endurance Horse Podcast!
"Maiden Rides"
In this episode you will hear of first time rides at 25/50 and 100 miles.
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 15
Welcome to Episode 15 of the Endurance Horse Podcast!
Publishing on 20th of February 2019
It is nearing the end of February and I am happy to bring to you a new episode of Endurance Horse Podcast. In this episode, Crewing, or depending on where you live, also known as strapping is a common theme woven throughout the various stories in this episode of Endurance Horse Podcast, and as you will hear in story by Carrie Baris, the endurance and ride and tie community and how it cares for each other does not end at ride camp when the trailers all head back home. Carrie’s story shows us the love and heart of the community that is endurance horse community. The bonds formed in all levels of endurance often become friendships that go far outside of the line where ride camp ends.
To prepare the intro for Episode 15 I searched the definition of crew/crewing and strapping. I will spare you the definitions, they really didn’t fit.
Other words that I thought of were family…that did not exactly fit either. Then I searched for the word minister, “To attend to the needs of someone, to give care or serve” & that definition fit perfectly.
Without further ado, I bring to you episode 15 of Endurance Horse Podcast, may you laugh, cry, learn and be inspired.

Hello, this is Chris, I hope you enjoyed riding along with us on this virtual loop. If this were an actual ride, we would be likely riding into our first hold right about now and many of us being helped out by our family and crew.
This episode was to be about crewing, though one thing was highlighted to me from all the audios I listened to and edited. No horse is easy, we all suffer loss, most of us experience healing through horses and many of us are blessed to have found friends who crew for us in our actual life. Just knowing they are there, waiting to pick us up if everything goes sideways means a lot. A distance ride is much like life, Courtney, I think there is a sermon in there somewhere…..
Much love & happy trails to you all. May your stirrups always be the same length and your boots stay dry! Until next time, BYE!

Endurance Horse Podcast - Episode 14
Episode 14 of the Endurance Horse Podcast is being published the
20th of January 2019. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN! (best brother EVER)
And Happy Birthday to DARBY, our sweetheart German Shepard.
WELCOME to the Second YEAR of ENDURANCE HORSE PODCAST!
Wooohooo! That is so awesome! We are at over 5,000 downloads between Podbean and iTunes, I honestly remember being in awe when we reached 256 downloads! It seems the podcast has filled a niche for riders.
It is officially 20th of January, only by a few minutes, I stayed up late to get this podcast out to you! Sometimes, a girl has to do what a girl has to do- and that sometimes means the only quiet time in the house is after everyone, including the dogs, have gone to sleep! This time I admit, I think it is pretty neat to publish the podcast on my little brother's birthday. Cool that I still get to call him my little brother even though he is WAY taller than I am.
It is so exciting when we get to hear from young riders in the sport and in this episode we will hear from a young rider in southern Wisconsin who rides the trails with her awesome Momma & Ride Manager, we will hear for the first time from two Florida young riders who have a great support team around them in their families and in their 4H Club. In Episode 14 we have some nail bitter stories from two of our long time listeners, Jenny Chandler (New Zealand) and Darice Whyte (Canada). We will also hear from rider, blogger, Audrey Hager from May the Horse be with You. And, if you are reading this Courtney, Jim blames you for my interest in at least trying a short RT at least once!
Please do check out the links provided in the show notes as they have some great resources, whether you’d like to hear the Templeton Thompson song that Courtney sang through the woods, if you’d like to check out the Ride & Tie website or if you are interested in learning more about 4H Clubs, or maybe you’d like to read more stories by Darice Whyte at Twisted Tales, and read more stories by Audrey Hager, you can follow the links and get more content!
I also included flyers to the midwest rides that were mentioned, though I don’t know how long those links will last as the new 2019 flyers will likely replace them. As always, life is a journey, enjoy the ride! Send me some audio files and remember it’s as much about the journey as it is the destination.
