Hi all - I'm so excited just had to share - I just got the biothane tack I ordered from Sportack and I am so happy with it! I am really impressed with their...
One comment about biothane: it is easy to clean, comes in colors and all that good stuff, but it doesn’t break. That can be really dangerous if a horse gets...
Well, Expresso and I have done a few 50s now and we have plans to head to New Mexico to the Caja Del Rio Ride on Aug 12 to do our first 75!! Maybe that 100...
Some manufacturers of biothane tack manufacture their tack so that it will break the stitching and release the horse when stressed. I got my bridle from...

I was about 7 years old when I heard about the Tevis. I've wanted to do it ever since. So 19 years later I found myself actually entered in the ride and...
Good try, Crysta! You really should be proud - so many people were in your situation and missed out by just a few minutes. ... Both Joyce and Maryanne (who was...
Crysta - I think you did great! At least you got to the starting line! I appreciate your detailed ride story - it's nice to have good feedback on the parts of...
Just want to say that you did awesome! Loved the detail of your account, its a generous thing to share the ups and downs of an attempt like this and I really...
... She's right - you learn *so* much more from people explaining how/where they failed and how to fix it, than the stories from people who said "oh yes, we ...
Hi all, I am new to the list and am interested in someday riding a 100 mile ride. I hope I can learn some things here on this list that will help me someday...
At the AERC / NATRC convention in February, I bought tickets in the Tevis entry raffle. After completing the ride in 2005, I am sure my husband thought that...
Riding Tevis was always a dream of mine but I thought I would never be able to really do it for lots of reasons. Jonni talked so much about Tevis the last 2...
Got back from Tevis on Monday evening, Aug 8, and had the trailer packed and ready to go. Still, there was lots to do so I only got a couple of hours of sleep...
Dear Follow Horse Lovers, I promise that this will be my last post on this horrific subject. But if you are sitting at your keyboard, and thinking ...this does...

I have a question for you more experienced riders out there. Sinatra and I did the hardest 62.5 miles at Tevis =), but we were overtime into Michigan Bluff by...
Crysta: Only plan you could have at this time!!. Doubt seriously if he will as strong with that much time off, but it might be very hard to tell unless you...
... Start SLOW! He has had at least 3 fairly 'violent' changes in lifestyle in the past 6 weeks--hard training, trailering to Tevis, hard workout, layoff with...
Isn't this the horse that you wrote about after your Tevis attempt as needing much more hill work and conditioning before attempting another 100. I do not ...
I said he would need more hill work and FASTER speed work before attempting Tevis again. He actually got through Tevis in good shape, especially if we had not...
This is a good observation but part of the decision to attempt another ride would depend on the difficulty or hills in the upcoming 100. Very few 100s have...
Thanks Terre, that's what I was looking for. We'll be taking it easy this weekend, and I'll make sure to think long and slow for those first few rides. I...
Howdy: Tevis is 2/3 downhill. Not sure about VC, but the 25 mile loop after lunch feels like it is almost all uphill, if you can imagine a 25 mile uphill all...
