You're Missing Out on These Hilariously Insane Missives from the 2022 Mongol Derby Blogs
Photo courtesty of The Mongol Derby.
One of the best parts of following the Mongol Derby is the hilarity (and intensity) that ensues via The Equestrianists' daily blogs. Each evening, the squad rehashes the events of the twenty-four hours — and its the wild, beautiful Mongolian Steppe, a lot of sh*t happens out in that location — to update followers on the happenings across the 1000km/600mi track.
I pulled a few quotes from the past few days' blogs to give you a glimpse — you may not find them equally hilarious every bit I did, just they certainly up the fan feel for me!
Note, riders are referred to in the blogs by initials – y'all tin notice a total passenger list hither and a live tracking map hither.
First things first, congratulations to our WINNERS!
Wait more finishers today and tomorrow as the race wraps up.
From Twenty-four hours 7'south web log, "Battle of the Sexes":
"Later yesterday's damp start, riders awoke this morn to another sunny day on the steppe. This may sound more appealing to those of u.s.a. sat at home, only spells problem for the riders: the hotter it is, the more watering holes yous need to detect for your noble steeds, and for yourself. Eye rates are higher, everyone'southward hot and bothered and riders brainstorm to smell a little "ripe", according to some vets at HS19 (which at this stage of their stint on the steppe we imagine is a little rich coming from them)."
"CWA shared some of his horse selection tips this night: enquire the herder, obey them unless in potent disagreement, and take a wait from behind. If belly is wider than bum, they're a bit likewise porky for this gig."
"Tobias Endress (TEN) was looking a little lovestruck out on the steppe today, spotted at HS17 clinging somewhat possessively to a regal chestnut animate being who had ferried him there from HS16. His tips for those looking for love? "Listen to the herder…He saw me and pointed at this horse. It was a match fabricated in heaven." TED vetted out safely and was presently reluctantly prised abroad from his new young man to head to the equus caballus lines in search of a replacement."
From Day six's blog, "Run for the Hills":
"TAT experienced a bit of equine melodrama, wisely electing to return her first pick to the horse lines, a fiesty palomino with a bit of an aversion to existence saddled. Moving on to a spicy grey, her first attempt at mounting concluded in a swift bump back down to world. Entirely unfazed and conspicuously tough as nails, she clambered back on and exploded out of HS17, travelling at quite the pace to HS18. This lady has an eye for the firecrackers."

"Past the time SEN, HFA, FHA and KDA arrived, the scene was a trivial chaotic. A herder was galloping furiously around the horse lines attempting to collar a loose horse, just as the group rode in. Nix to come across here, ladies."
From Day 5's blog, "Hump Solar day":
"BDO continues to defy medical expectations and sensible communication on her "roughest day yet" as she traverses the steppe with a boundless grim determination and a set of cleaved ribs, MFI is now rocking a fetching purple broken pollex, and Annie Hackett's (AHA) knee appears to have come up upward confronting some sort of emergency cheese grater stashed in her jodhpurs. Hump day indeed."
"Lena Haug (LHA) was pleased with her choice of horse, eyeing him upwards as the herder presented him to his jockey: "Looks like a sweet boy, a little wild in the center, I'm excited," blissfully ignorant to the sounds of her steed snorting like a dragon out of shot. Heidi Falzon (HFA) meanwhile was beaming while standing unusually close to a beast which looked similar he had trotted straight out of the ice age, such was his resemblance to a Prezwalski's horse of erstwhile. His temperament did suggest he'd been around the block once or twice, standing docile as a lamb while HFA took full advantage of finally coming into contact with a horse allowing himself to be cuddled. The hope was that he would, withal, transform into a "little rocket" as before long as she clambered onboard."
"Renee Senter (RSE) and Julie Wolfert (JWO) were feeling positive, although they appeared slightly dislocated about which day it was and were unable to elaborate on their navigational tactics across going "the right way." Pressed on their masterplan, they divulged that this involved heading "whichever manner all the other riders go." They have plain learned their lesson from yesterday after their sightseeing tour en route into HS11, and have graciously decided to requite their fellow riders a chance to smoothen in the navigational department."

From Day 4's blog, "The Middle of the Storm":
"2019 Mongol Derby veteran MFE woke upwardly on his altogether (our tertiary Derby birthday so far – we can't really think of anywhere nosotros'd rather spend the day either) to a stroke of boggling luck: afterwards losing his horse complete with all his gear exterior of HS7 yesterday, a herder appeared as if by magic, dragging the reluctant steed in his wake. He was later spotted trundling towards HS10 at a brisk trot, grinning from ear to ear on an improbably chunky merely pragmatic chestnut. Happy Birthday, MFE: the Derby Gods are smiling on y'all."
"KGA was spotted ripping across the steppe towards HS9 on a little grey rocket, her cowgirl antics from yesterday having done her no impairment. She remains committed to picking the buckiest broncos of the bunch, charming herder subsequently herder with her suicidal enthusiasm."
"CWA and PHE waited until HS12 to make their move: of a sudden, they broke away from the pack, and wasted no time in legging it to HS13, trying to put some distance between them and their stunned former riding buddies. Word on the steppe is the odour emanating from PHE'south boots may be enough to continue the chasing pack at bay. Ingenious tactics."

Friday Video: Taking the Knee in the Magnolia Cup
So often, England'southwardMagnolia Cup – an invitational charity flat race for women who aren't actually jockeys at England's Glorious Goodwood – is the site of extraordinary, inspiring stories. It was here that teenagerKhadijah Mellah became not just the first-ever Hijabi winner of a race, but the get-go Hijabi jockey in the UK back in 2019, which inspired a flurry of aspiring jockeys to join the Ebony Horse Club programme in London, where she'd learnt to ride.
This yr, upon the race's return to the calendar, we've seen a similarly exceptional winner inAshleigh Wicheard, who used the race every bit a platform to promote diversity in equestrianism and the continued fight to end systemic racism well beyond the realm of sport. I'm putting the site of the jockeys collectively taking the articulatio genus downward equally one of the almost moving sporting moments of the year, and I doubt we'll see it eclipsed equally the residual of 2022 plays out. Check out this short documentary video for the full story, and give Ashleigh a follow on Instagram to keep upward with this powerhouse rider.
Update: How U.Due south. Eventers Are Faring on Twenty-four hours 7 of the 2022 Mongol Derby

Julie Wolfert is amongst a vehement contingent of U.Southward. eventers battling the 2022 Mongol Derby. Julie, of Chaps Equestrian Center in Kansas City, has been on a tear this year on the eventing circuit. Earlier this month, she secured three top-x FEI finishes at the Maryland Horse Trials and won the CCI3*-50 at The Fork at Tryon before that. Photo past Shannon Brinkman Photography.
Eventers take historically fared pretty well in the Mongol Derby, not because we know the first thing about endurance riding just considering equally a lot we're generally tough, scrappy and only psychotic enough to think we can skirt the occasional disaster. Lucinda Green'due south niece, Lara Prior-Palmer, won the race in 2013, and several more accept found their manner to the terminate line over the years including (by the skin of my teeth) yours truly in 2017.
The tenth annual race, a sort of 1,000-kilometer Hunger Games on horseback, is taking place every bit we speak somewhere in Mongolia. Contested by 46 riders from ten countries, the U.S. has thrown to the wolves its biggest always contingent — nineteen riders from the U.S. A special shout out goes to our USEA members taking the Mongol Derby head on. By call letter, and where they're at tonight:Renee Senter (RSE – HS19), Morgan Kelly (MKE – HS19), Kristin Carpenter (KCA – HS20), Julie Wolfert (JWO – HS19), Brandy Dobbyn (BDO – HS19 – Risk), Claire Vile (CVI – HS19), Ashton Garner (AGA – HS20) and Allison Kohlberg (AKO – Blood Wagon).
Let'southward check in on where they are resting their weary heads this evening, post-obit some vi previous days of risk and misadventures — recaps here:

Equus caballus Station 19: RSE, MKE, JWO, CVI and BDO (adventure course) are hunkered down for the dark at HS19. Maybe also KCA … the tracker has her listed equally camping at HS20 but the blog indicates that she hung back at HS19. In true Derby fashion, the time-infinite continuum is collapsable; who even knows what is real. Except one thing we know for sure, which is that it's been a big day for anybody. Co-ordinate to the blog:
CVI, RSE and JWO, deciding the conventional path wasn't for them, headed off into the mountains between HS16 and HS17 last dark in search of something a bit more than audacious. RSE explained that they had been having such a jolly time aboard some "fabulous galloping horses" heading out of HS16 that navigation had seemed like an unnecessary lark, resulting in the missing of a few crucial turnings. Finding themselves lost in the hills, they had stumbled across a camp of 30 gers in a mystery hidden canyon. Edging closer, they were presently adopted into a summer camp for local Mongolian children, offered ger-service for dinner and even managed a spot of shopping for CVI at the camp shop, yet lacking her gear. Not all those who wander are lost. Having got back on track this morning, they rode into HS17 with fantastical tales to tell, blissfully unaware they were about to have to turn to their GPS again to negotiate some testing sand dunes en road to HS18.
…
Slightly further on the course, a awe-inspiring thunderstorm rolled into HS19 just equally RSE, CVI, WJO and KCA were pondering whether to ride on for the day. Squinting in the direction of HS20 and the impenetrable wall of steely pelting blocking their path, the ladies decided they had better just stay put for the evening, thank you very much. Sensible call.
…
Our closing shoutout for the day once once again goes to the remarkable BDO, the but rider on the Blood Wagon to ride the full day today, and with a set up of broken ribs at that. We are in awe of you, Wonder Woman.
Renee Senteris also hardy Kansas eventing stock, who finished 6th in Chief Beginner Novice at the 2021 AEC. Renee Senter & Regina. Photo by Shannon Brinkman Photo.[/explanation]Horse Station xx: AGA (and possibly KCA) are 1-up, calling it a 24-hour interval at HS20.
Ashton Garner (AGA) also made it into HS20, having taken shelter from the tempest in a convenient nearby ger.
At the very tip-top of the field, on Derby Day seven, the overnight leaders are Chris Walker (CWA) of Australia and Patrick Heffron (PHE) of Republic of ireland, who are camped at Horse Station 25 with but three stations to go before the stop. Which means, we'll have a winner shortly!
If you desire to join us in dot-watching, you tin can practice so here. Each rider carries a GPS chip that allows race organizers and fans to follow their positioning in real time. There are quite a few eventers from around the world battling the Mongol Derby this yr, and you can pick out your favorites to keep track of here.
