Welcome to
The Tom Quilty Gold Cup 2019
Episode of
Endurance Horse Podcast
Created July 28, 2019
Hello and Welcome to Episode 22 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.
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.
Ride far, ride well and ride often, every mile a memory.

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

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!
