      Welcome to Episode 45 of Endurance Horse Podcast Dr. Jay Mero- Winner of 2021 Haggin Cup Created by Christina Hyke on July 28th 2021     Maybe you were one of the many people tracking the progress of the Tevis Cup that was this past weekend, July 24th 2021 under the last full moon of July?   This moon is called the Rider's moon and it is under this moon that the annual Tevis Cup was to be ridden.  For the 66th annual riding of the Tevis Cup riders had to deal once again with smoke from wildfires.  In the next few episodes of Endurance Horse Podcast we will be sharing short interviews with some of those brave soles who saddled up and faced what is arguably one of the toughest endurance events in the equestrian world.   Tevis is often called the Grand Daddy of them all and has even inspired events as far as Australia and the Tom Quilty Gold Cup.     Tevis, unlike the Quilty historically is held at the same venue from year to year and although there maybe some slight changes in trail, many of the milestones have remained the same since 1955.  Although many think of the Tevis of a climbing ride, likely due to the world famous Cougar Rock images, there is actually, by the numbers roughly 17,000 feet of elevation gain and over 21,000 feet of elevation loss.   As you will hear mentioned in several of the interviews, some keys to conditioning for Tevis are hills, hills and hills.      In this episode of Endurance Horse podcast I am honored to bring to you an interview with the 2021 Haggin Cup winner Dr. Jay Mero.   For those of you new to the podcast or new to endurance, the Haggin Cup is arguably the most prestigious of north american endurance. Riders from around the world travel to auburn, CA to tread along this historic and as some say, magical trail.      Without further ado,  I bring to you, Episode 45 of Endurance Horse Podcast, Tevis 2021 Haggin Cup winner, Dr. Jay Mero.    Mariposa Equine Services- Dr. Jeanette Mero, DVM FB page The Horse  William Gore Photography   Thank you for listening and sharing Endurance Horse Podcast.

    Welcome to Episode 42  of Endurance Horse Podcast  Stories of EPM & Dr. Sam Crosby, DVM  Part 2 of a 3 part series Created by: Christina Hyke April 2021 Most difficult day of my life spurred me into creating a three part series on EPM.   In Part 2 of 3 episodes with a focus to shed light on EPM.   Most horse owners that have even heard of EPM equate this disease as showing up as a horse with a wobbly or drunken hind end, though there are many small, red flags that show up long before a sudden onset of EPM.   EPM is an infection of protozoa that attack the central nervous system of the end host, the horse.   Some varieties of this protozoa tend more towards attacking the muscle, to learn more tune into this episode of Endurance Horse Podcast where we will hear two more stories from horse owners followed by an interview with Dr. Sam Crosby, DVM of Crosby Equine Services.    Sandy Patmore, Michigan USA Amy Maguire, USA Dr. Sam Crosby, DVM Oklahoma, USA Crosby Equine Service on Facebook Veterinarians Encouraging and Teaching   VET Program About Dr. Sam Crosby -  American Association of Equine Practitioners Karbo Combo Supplement Pathogenes Labs Testing Lab for EPM “Pathogenes is a small research laboratory with large ideas, located in Fairfield, Florida.  We test samples, analyze data, and invent tools to diagnose and treat horses with neurodegenerative diseases including EPM, equine protozoal myeloencephalitis.”   We were blessed to get you a code for Karbo Combo probiotic, use this at the Karbo Store Website.  I tried Karbo Combo for a follow up probiotic after Grace's treatment for EPM.  Grace had a significant improvement with Karbo Combo and continues to be on it.  We also tried Karbo Combo for JR, I did not notice any difference with this product.  With JR we did see a big difference in him with SarStart as an aftercare follow up, and with Grace, not much difference on Sarstart.  Each horse has it's own individual biome, and what benefits one greatly may not have a significant affect on the next horse.   Before starting Karbo Combo, Grace could not back up straight, she was swinging her left hind leg significantly and backing up almost sideways.  For Grace,  after about three weeks on Karbo Combo we noticed a significant difference with her.  She eats it readily, and she tends to be picky with powders etc, Karbo is a pellet and we plan to keep her on it for the rest of the year or longer.   The Karbo Store gave us a one time use coupon code for our listeners to try Karbo Combo.  We reached out to them because not only had other horse owners dealing with EPM had great things to say about Karbo Combo, so did Dr. Sam Crosby.  It was at their recommendation that we gave Karbo a try and wanted to see if we would get get a better deal for you to try it at least once with your horses and see if it helps:  www.karbostore.com  Coupon Code for $10 off:  EHP10     WARHORSE Endurance Challenges   Pony Express 1900 Mile Challenge   Renegade Hoof Boots US Rider Skito Karbo Combo       Christina Hyke & Houdini Creator of Endurance Horse Podcast  WARHORSE  Endurance Horse Podcast  Join the Group on Facebook      Christina Hyke, creator of Endurance Horse Podcast and WARHORSE Endurance Challenges.  In 2021 Wisconsin State Horse Council named Christina ‘Horse Person of the Year’ for her philanthropy, her work with Endurance Horse Podcast and WARHORSE Endurance Challenges.   The previous year Endurance Horse Podcast won an international award given by Equus Film and Arts Festival.     Chris lives in southern Wisconsin with her sweet husband, Jim and their three children.  She has always loved the trails and spent every moment she could spare out riding for as long as she can remember.   It was the love of covering miles through beautiful territory hiking, running and riding on good horses that inspired her to create both Endurance Horse Podcast and WARHORSE Endurance as places where riders for riders to share stories with others from around the world.    www.christinahyke.com www.warhorseendurance.com    Cheers & Happy Trails!

    Welcome to the Long Feather Racing episode of Endurance Horse Podcast with The Milwaukee Art Museum & Veterans Light Up the Arts   Created February 27, 2020 Welcome to episode 35  of Endurance Horse Podcast!        This topic may seem to have little to do with endurance riding, we distance riders are often talking about riding the same horse over many miles,  in this episode we talk to a father who manages a racing team that is comprised of his family members.  Long Feather Racing Team  stands tall among the many skilled teams who participate in Indian Relay Racing.     One rider, 3 horses and many team members comprise the team.  Riders must mount bareback on their own power and relay onto three horses to win this race.  Though swapping horses, high speeds and bareback seem to have little to do with endurance,  I reached out to Richard Long Feather of Standing Rock Reservation to connect with him and listen in as  shares his love of Indian Relay Racing.       It is funny how things come together if you track them backwards.  As you may know, I had the idea for WARHORSE Endurance ride, that then also led me to loan an idea and name for a second ride to Laura  to change the name and theme of her ride.  I loaned her the name I had for another ride, Spirit Horse.  Laura then spoke to people who gave her the idea to fund raise for an equine program at Rosebud Reservation- which brought me to purchasing the DVD, HORSE NATION, which helped me to find out about the Mankato ride, and the Wounded Knee ride, and then apparently FB suggested Long Feather Racing-  and so I found Richard’s family & now Richard is on Endurance Horse Podcast.    Richard’s family works as a team traveling during the racing season covering many miles with typically six horses to care for.  This sounded very familiar to the ride camp we all travel around to.  I wanted to make a connection with Endurance Horse Podcast and this amazing family.  As you can see, what started out as a short interview turned into much more as I found myself enjoying this man’s love for his horses and his home.  I hope you all can forgive me as I learn the more technical side of recording.  I think that we had a bad phone connection, though I hope you can listen long enough to see what a good horse connection we made.  Sit back, hold on and enjoy the ride!   Click here to see a preview of We are a Horse Nation on YouTube To find We are a Horse Nation you can search on Amazon or click here   Christina Hyke Cheers to 2020!   Richard & Jace Long Feather, Standing Rock Reservation, ND Wiyanka Hanska-Long Feather Racing on Facebook   Horse Nations Indian Relay Racing Council Racing Photo Credit: A by A Photography Washington, USA on Facebook   To learn more about Indian Relay Racing:  Relay Horse Magazine Horse Nations Indian Relay Council Horse Nations Indian Relay Council- on Facebook   Navajo Code Talker -Thomas Begay   Thomas Begay singing in Navajo the Marine Hymn   Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce   Veterans Light Up the Arts   Milwaukee Art Museum   Trickster Art Gallery Cultural Center Distance Riding Association of Wisconsin    Christina ‘Send me files’ Hyke Wisconsin, USA          Creator of Endurance Horse Podcast  WARHORSE  Endurance Horse Podcast  Join the Group on Facebook    Christina Hyke, creator of Endurance Horse Podcast, lives in southern Wisconsin with her sweet husband, Jim.   Chris is an equine & pet photographer, and Ride Manager of WARHORSE Endurance.  She has always loved the trails and spent every moment she could riding since before she could walk.   It was the love of covering miles through beautiful territory on good horses that inspired her to create a podcast about it to share stories with other riders from around the world.     Cheers & Happy Trails! www.christinahyke.com

    Welcome to  Episode 26 of    Endurance Horse Podcast  Tevis Cup 2019 Part 1   Created  September 27, 2019    Welcome to episode 26 of Endurance Horse Podcast where we will hear from not only the winner of Tevis 2019, though also from volunteers, crew and more riders!   Did you know that the Tevis Cup, also known as the The Western States Trail Ride, has been held every year since 1955?  This makes Tevis the most established modern day endurance ride in the world, possibly the universe.  Tevis has been the inspiration for other such great rides as The Big Horn 100 and The Tom Quilty Gold Cup.  It is amazing to me how one group of riders, with an idea can establish something so inspirational that has been standing the test of time for several decades, and that has inspired others to build on what was started by Wendell Robie and his friends.     Only roughly half (54%) of the people who toe the line to begin Tevis will complete it.  The statistics at teviscup.org show that from 1955 until 2017 roughly 10,365 have started Tevis and only 5,615 had finished. To finish, is truly to win. I am equally inspired by those who did not finish, as I am by those who did, because it takes the same amount of courage to even attempt to finish and ride the Tevis. No one truly knows what may happen during a ride or how their day will go. We are grateful for those of you who send in an audio, whether you found your buckle at the end of the ride or not this time, thank you for including the listeners of Endurance Horse Podcast in your journey.    Of course, there was one horse rider team that did cross the finish line first and that was the young and talented Miss Sanoma Blakeley of Oregon.   Sanoma crossed the finish line at 9:27 pm just ahead of a three time winner of the Tevis Cup.   It is a testament to this young lady that her horse, RA Ares Bay, aka Goober pulsed down quickly and vetted out sound at the end of arguably the world’ toughest one day 100 mile endurance ride in the world.  Sanoma has a proud heritage of endurance riding.  Sanoma’s mother has 6 Tevis buckles, Sanoma’s father has 5 Tevis Buckles and Sanoma’s brother won the Haggin Cup in 2014 at the age of 15.  As if that is not an interesting enough of a tale for you, Sanoma’s 2019 Tevis Cup champion, Goober, was found as a two year old on Craigslist, an add was offering him up as a free horse.  Goober is her dad’s horse, and apparently earned the name Goober by his silly antics such as leading other horses around.  Sanoma has said she has the greatest parents in the world, and the greatest horse, and who could argue with that?  Let’s hear a brief recount of the Tevis 2019 journey from Sanoma herself, without further ado, I bring to you episode 26 of Endurance Horse Podcast, enjoy. The Wendell Robie trophy is awarded to horses who have five Tevis completions.  If you know of a horse who has met these requirements and not received the award, please follow this link for more information.  Wendell Robie Award.

    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

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)

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.    Bob Sample Australia  Tom Quilty Gold Cup   Adriana Srdne and Victoria Clarke Australia  Marvel Endurance Marvel Endurance on Facebook     Emma Tylee New Zealand Distance Riding New Zealand  Pandora Saddles Pandora Saddles on Facebook   Tahlia Franke Australia     Oso Arabians Oso Arabians on Facebook     Mollie Quiroz United States      Jolene Cole  Chip Chase Sadaqa FB Page Chip Chase Sadaqa History       Jenny Chandler New Zealand   Jenny’s Blog: Learning Endurance & Stuff   Huge shout out to Pandora Saddles for sponsoring a fantastic mid pack award, given to the Quilty rider that had the time right in the middle of the pack.   I love that the award gives the mid pack rider something to hope for!  A great reward for great pacing!   You can purchase  the song byTrevor Knight:   The Ballad of Tom Quilty on iTunes      About the creator of the Endurance Horse Podcast: Christina Hyke lives in southern Wisconsin with her husband, Jim.  Chris is an equine & pet photographer who also happens to love the trails and distance riding.  It was the love of covering miles through beautiful territory on good horses that inspired her to create a podcast about it to share stories with other riders from around the world.  Chris and Jim also donate photography sessions to area rescues/humane societies, and Chris teaches photography to local 4H members.

    Episode 21 BIG HORN 100- Endurance Horse Podcast

    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
