Oh my gosh, what a fantastic race! I cannot believe Tissy is 25 years old and is doing that well! She is unbelievable! Huge congratulations!

[@malloryalford9808]

I think I had tears falling from start to finish of this video. SO happy for you, Whiz, the crews and ALL of the competitors (on 2 and four legs). What an amazing adventure and memory. GO BETH! GO TISSY! You two are unstoppable.

[@bethendurance]

It was an emotional rollercoaster! She was just so amazing 🦄 x

[@therapieundtraining-pferde]

"Plats mean business" 😂😂 that goes for you as well as for Tissy! You go girls ❤ Great cut and music on your video btw!!! Loved watching it

[@Kelly_Ben]

Yaaaaas!!!! Ok, now that I've watched it, WOW!!! I won't give away the end, but i teared up at the beginning, seeing you and Tissy behind the pace car, going through town, representing!! Then the end, feeling your pride in her! As far as I'm concerned, this type of finishes are tied, since you've ridden together so long! As an ultra runner and a hopeful endurance rider, these Man v Horse races excite me so much... i only know of 3 left in the world, 2 in the states, and i want to run and ride them all!! Congrats to you and your amazing crew on an incredible job, but especially to Tissy The Wonderhorse!!!

[@bethendurance]

There's 3 in the UK now,Scotland, Wales and the Quantocks. I'm quite tempted to do a Man v Horse tour 😝 She was just the best 🥰🦄 x

[@Kelly_Ben]

Yesss, do it! Tissy could sweep the lot as her retirement performance! 😂 I'm so glad they're becoming a thing again! I was afraid that in today's liability- ruled world, they'd disappear completely.

[@christinafragis7224]

Congrats!!! Tissy is definitely a horse of a lifetime - well done to both of you and crew team of course!

[@bethendurance]

Thank you ☺️ she's certainly one that will never be replaced 🦄 x

[@ayswavey]

Such a beautiful ride!!

[@jenz4524]

Congrats!!!! What an awesome feeling that is, especially on Tissy! She is a once in a lifetime horse. (I hope she talks to Estrid about how fantastic she will be too.)

[@bethendurance]

I hope she takes Estrid to brilliant pony boot camp 🤣 x

[@homeedconnect]

What brave horses (and riders) through the crowded streets at the beginning, past the excavator, running past humans on narrow trails, over rocky terrain, past clapping crowds....truly wonderful! What a great event, super crew, and such an amazing horse, Beth. (Kate did fantastic, as well!!) Congrats! ~Holly

[@alialhilali9862]

You really took us to the ride. Amazing team.

[@bethendurance]

Thank you 😊 x

[@samisaeed88]

Lovely

[@furkidfamily]

25!!! Tissy is amazing! She’s the OG 🎉 Have followed your channel for a couple of years and seen the ups and downs with injuries and rehab of the other ponies. Tissy is living proof you do everything right in their care and conditioning. Well done Beth, loved this video.

[@bethendurance]

It's certainly been a rollercoaster 🤪😅 thank you 😊 x

[@dan-zo4eb]

Great film and brilliant to watch and recognise all the different areas and terrain. I ran the whole route this year (first time) and it was so warm. Well done.

[@LifeInTheSaddle.]

[@susan_brehm_art]

Omg! So exciting!! Congratulations to you and Tizzie!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@bethendurance]

Thank you 😊 x

[@loosecanonjack]

I think I cried my whole way through that. I felt every single emotion (the same happy nervous excited emotions when I took my horse Royal Windsor this year after a tendon tear back in 2021). Huge huge congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I didn’t realise Tissy was 25! 😢 The ‘oldies’ are the best (Jack’s 22). I am so happy for you ❤

[@bethendurance]

Congratulations on getting to Windsor, Tissy has had some pretty bad injuries too and it's so rewarding to get them back on their game isn't it x

[@loosecanonjack]

@@bethendurance it certainly feels more special to be able to share moments like this with them. Well done again. Great vlog x

[@MaisietheGrey]

Aw what a lovely vlog. I was getting emotional just watching it! I’d love to do that one day. Congratulations x

[@bethendurance]

Thank you 😊 x

[@jillmccabe6525]

Had to watch it again, your my go to for equestrian vlogs. Well done 🎉❤

[@bethendurance]

Thank you 😊 x

[@user-dy7hg2yh5u]

wow i loved loved loved watching this video, huge congratulations to you and Tissy and of course all your amazing crew .

[@bethendurance]

Thank you, glad you liked it x

[@le.6634]

Bro the feeling of crossing the finish line doesn’t matter the distance is always so emotional when you think about it beforehand. I feel you

[@bethendurance]

I know right 🙈 x

[@shalmisandlar8551]

I'm sure at some point the horses are saying to themselves WHAT THE FUCK, THIS SHIT NEVER ENDED

[@cobscamping6909]

Epic, so so enjoyed watching your video. Definitely the right decision to get behind the pace car at the start. Watching your video brought back fond memories of doing MvH a few times. Told you , you would enjoy it. WE DONE🎉🎉🎉

[@bethendurance]

It was amazing! X

[@julen2380]

They used my full name. - Come on, whizzlebutt. I just love the two of you together! You are such a dream team and I am so, so, so happy for you that you got to do this race as you had hoped. P.S.: Tissy looked very happy until you started talking about her retirement. ;)

[@bethendurance]

I was so relieved to get to start! Don't worry Tissy, you can still have adventures in retirement 😝 x

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

That was totally bonkers!!! Well done to everyone, and how good were the horses not spooking at the clapping and the runners? My horse would have fainted!! ❤❤

[@bethendurance]

🤣 Tissy is pretty used to all sorts of random scenarios, I think my youngster, Estrid, would have fainted too 😝 x

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@@bethendurance My horse would have like people looking at him, but the clapping would have freaked him out! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lenerasmussen6838]

That was such an amazing performance❤️❤️well done Beth and Tissy💪💪 how far is the race? Can’t believe that guy ran it faster than the horses, wow🤩

[@bethendurance]

It's only 36km, but over that terrain it's still pretty tough, the video doesn't do the steepness any justice x

[@helenhhelen9966]

Absolutely fantastic! Thrilling finish too, even though I had checked the results last week as I could not wait. Is Tissy on holiday now?

[@bethendurance]

Tissy is having 4 weeks off before being ridden again, then we'll do some little adventures x

[@julialewis7231]

What your speed and what was the distance? I shed a tear too, so good to watch ❤

[@bethendurance]

15.7kph over approx 36km x

[@Polopony20.]

Could you share what ankle brace/support you use? I also have a dogey ankle and have been looking for one i can ride in!

[@bethendurance]

It depends what your issue is a to what will work for you. My ankle inverts putting strain on my peroneals so I use an aircast A60 x

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Kinda nuts to have human and equestrian races on the same trail at the same time.

[@teresashinkansen9402]

Humans have no chance. In 44 years of the race only 4 humans have won, the horses carry a rider weighing more than 15% of their body weight and they also have the time of the vet checks added to their total time. Lets make it fair, make humans carry some extra weight and let them rest for the same amount of time the horses are not running during vet checks but don't stop the clock for them as it is done for horses.

[@Blaidd7542]

It’s a pretty short race, if it was much longer it would be a different story, It’s pretty telling the horses need vet checks but there are no doctors checking the humans.
