~Tevis~

Okay, so i'm 12, and my horse is 17. He's a leapord appy quarab an has been doing endurance like 7 years on and off. We've only been getting really into endurance and actually training pretty hard since sep. 2012. I really want to enter the 2013 tevis, and I really think me and my horse can do it. Could anyone tell me that's participated in tevis before, finished or not, if it's 'hard' I know that's a broad word but, I just want to know about tevis from the point of view of someone who has actually done it...Thanks!

If you haven't looked at their website here's a link it should answer some of your questions.

The Tevis Cup

i've already looked through their website, thanks though!

Did you see the PDF on their site?

Also, do you have an adult rider to ride with you? All juniors must have an entered adult with them.

Jumaji is correct about reading the PDF and having a mentor with you. Also, you have to have a minimum amount of race miles completed to enter Tevis. Along with the PDF, I strongly suggest completing a 100 at some point prior to having your first 100 be Tevis. April would be a good month to try one out so you know how you and your horse operate as a team, in the dark, while tired and a little uncomfortable; and it will help you and your mentor work out any issues that might arise.
