Dylan Delahunt (DD) hasn't posted any updates yet.
Wide open spaces and quirky challenges can mostly be blamed for my wanderings. I try to keep the common thread of cattle and farming in what I do and before these last few months in Sweden our home was a 20000ha game and cattle farm where our working partners were boerperd horses. I also feel very at home on the water and spent a year sailing and living on dhows along the Tanzanian coast. I experienced the life of an ambulance medic for a year and grew up as a boy scout but hope not to have to rely on any of those skills on this trip.
As far as horses go I involve them when I can and have worked with racing stud to cutting cattle in South Dakota to leading trails through the Namib on desert ponies we backed ourselves.
I have had the derby in my sights for a few years now and with luck, spontaneity, and the adventurists bending over backwards, I entered just 5 weeks ago for the ride of a lifetime!
