Three Tevis buckles for my boy who is now 28 years old and still in awesome shape.... I love him dearly.

I can't decide if you folks are nuts or awesome. 🤣 Ok, the horses are awesome you folks are nuts? Yeah, that's it. Fantastic job by all. ♥️

2:37 that bay horse yanks the left hind shoe right off. I wonder if they finished?

[@lakota123max]

[@luv2ride564]

So happy to find it again!

[@vickyburton2434]

This is scary to watch!

[@judithbliss7567]

I can't believe how many of these riders don't wear helmets.

[@privacymatters5204]

There are always a few dumb risk takers.

[@TheFen2009]

Can you imagine the damage to their heads if they fell off on the rocks

[@albertafarmer8638]

It's their choice I worry about the poor horses.

[@Lee-hp1wg]

@@albertafarmer8638 Endurance is one of the best disciplines as far as care for the horses goes. The horse’s well-being is part of the competition. Unlike a lot of other disciplines where as long as it’s not doing a hard limp you can do whatever you want.

i wouldnt risk my horse,her welfare comes first

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Thank goodness, someone who puts their horse first. Thank you for looking after what is in the best interests of your horse.

[@dakotalake9084]

You don't have to go over Cougar Rock, you can go around it which is what I did each time.

[@TheThoress]

Sorry, but I see many that should not be riding their horse.

[@dakotalake9084]

If they don't manage their horse properly, they never finish.... less than half the starters finish.

[@helen.salemiynah]

Why most of them siting on the horse (not use more stirrups) they look like a balles not riders. I don't understand...

[@VietFiddle]

I dismount, and lead the horse walking behind me. I am scared.

[@biancagrant5127]

because its the correct way to ride.

[@dakotalake9084]

It is the correct way to ride. You can judge after you finish this ride LOL

[@gerrycoleman7290]

All about the person. Not about what is in the best interests of the horse.

[@dakotalake9084]

If the horse doesn't want to go, he won't.... actually the horses who do these and I have one, love it! Mine is now 30 years old, has been retired for quite a few years and looks fantastic.

[@dakotalake9084]

@@gerrycoleman7290 You are ignoring that an animal has a personality, makes choices like a human.... yes, horse and rider need to develop a positive relationship for the horse to be willing to do such an event as the Tevis.
