In this special episode of the Horse People podcast, I take you on a journey through my experience competing in the Mongol Derby—the world’s longest and toughest horse race. From pre-race jitters to crossing the finish line, you’ll hear it all!

What makes this episode truly unique is that I recorded voice notes while I was racing across the Mongolian steppe. So, not only will you get to hear how I was feeling in the moment—tired, exhilarated, sometimes overwhelmed—but you’ll also get my reflections and commentary as I listen back to those notes, about a month and a half later. It’s like you’re right there with me, experiencing every high and low.

In this episode, I’ll cover:

• Pre-race nerves and preparation
• The challenges of navigating semi-wild horses across the vast, rugged terrain
• The incredible people (and horses) I met along the way
• My raw, unfiltered reactions during the race, and what I think about it all now
• What it takes to push your limits in the world’s most grueling equestrian race

Whether you’re a seasoned horse person, a fan of the Mongol Derby, or just someone who loves an epic adventure, you’re going to love this episode.

So, sit back and enjoy the ride—let’s get into my Mongol Derby story!
