In 4 short months we board our flight!

We are 4 months away from hopping on an airplane to Mongolia. Training is continuing and we are having more requests for interviews and photo shoots. We hope the added publicity will help get the word out to help us raise money!

Slowly our kits are coming together. We now have our hydration packs and have started riding with them. Our derby saddles are getting some miles on them as well. With 4 months to go, we hope that riding in those 12 inch saddles with about 13 pounds strapped to our backs will feel completely normal. We still have quite a bit of gear to purchase. We also have quite a few vaccines to get.

A couple weeks ago Clare and her horse, Mardi Gras Tuesday, won the 50 mile race at Alabama Yellowhammer. Way to go!


We have had the most fun training for this race at our local Crossfit box, and of course on horseback. We know that it will be a very hard week out there, so we are getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and pushing through our limits.
