    💭 Bernice Ende--> Starting at age 50 she solo rode over 30,000 miles across the U.S., Canada & Europe. "Lady Longrider" is her book. There's a documentary film about her incredible life too.

    • @nicolaxoxo1
      @nicolaxoxo1 Год назад +1

      Did she ride the same horse the entire journey?

    • @kriskabin
      @kriskabin Год назад

      ​@nicolaxoxo1 Her first ride she borrowed a horse from the ranch she worked for. Bernice was usually really strapped for $, so she bought cheap "problem" horses. She was a horse trainer & had ferring skills, so she knew how to get a horse ready for long rides & maintain their feet on trail. (She did her own shoeing on her long rides.)
      Bernice lost one of her horses when she was riding through Texas ( Her pack horse fatally kicked her riding horse & she had to put the mare down. Then she started walking with her pack horse back to her home state of Montana, when a Texas rancher gave her a gelding. This horse had issues that she had to correct, but she put several hundred miles on this paint before retiring him.)
      Her final 3 horses were Fjords which she grew to really love. She said this breed was ideal for long distance riding, & she wouldn't go back to any other horse breed. A Fjord breeder stopped her on one of her rides & liked what she was all about & gave her her first Fjord mare.
      There's a good documentary film that was made about Bernice Ende, " Lady Long Rider" I believe is the title. ( Correct title by Wren Winfield, Prime Video has this film.) Unfortunately, Bernice only wrote one autobiographical book before her death, but it's definitely worth reading--> " Lady Long Rider."
      Ende is a real inspirational shero for anyone thinking about going after a late in life "goofy" dream.

    You’ve inspired me. Stop by. I’m at 36819 n 15 ave Phoenix, AZ. I’ve had some tuff times and had to get rid of one of my horses when my wife and I divorced. Then I had to put down my other horse, Red. Well as of today we are dating again with our three kids and our life has been restored. Now on our dream ranch. I will be making two stalls and my dream is to get two horses again. Mustangs are now the ones I’m going to get based on your journey!!! 🎉 stop by for a night stay and good food my family and my parents will cook dinner.
    I have a great friend in Lupton AZ that would welcome you for a night.

    You're doing a terrific job getting your channel going. I look forward to every post. I was wondering about borium use but am only familiar with torch application and I guess you would have to use screw-in studs. Your horses are probably pretty sure footed anyway but I had to ask. Do you carry a stall jack to shape and level shoes? Thanks for the entertainment! Btw, I'm 71 if you are wondering about your audience. I only shod horses full time for 10 years but respect the trade.

      @@jakeharvath is there any place you list an address along your route so folks could send a care package? Or is it better to send a gift card? I appreciate your genuine care for your horses and your mission to promote the mustangs. I don’t know if anyone told you but you were recently mentioned on an episode of an equestrian RUclipsr with a big following, channel named Raleigh Link.
      Earlier this year there was a jackass going by 2Raw2Ride (I know sounds like a porn movie lol) who bought an out of shape inappropriately prepared gaited horse off Craigslist for a few thousand dollars and with no prep started on a long distance ride. He did not properly feed or care for the horse and it rapidly deteriorated. He somehow got a second horse to pack….it was 20. Needless to say, also a disaster. He Colicked along the way and somehow didn’t die but was lame and skeletal. By the end of a few months he was eluding law enforcement officers because so many people were reporting the deplorable conditions of the 2 horses. He cheated by trailering a lot of the way. At the end he had the nerve to try to sell these 2 lame starved horses for 60k!! No one knows what became of them as far as I know.
      Anyway, it’s nothing like what you are doing with your horses but just in case you hear any negativity about your journey, unfortunately this jerk gave the general public a terrible impression of long distance riding.
