Thank You's
Planning for our Ride has been a huge undertaking requiring endless hours of research and planning. There have been moments of joy, moments of concern, and moments of fear and anxiety. Staying the course and sticking to the knitting over this past year, we have now arrived at three weeks out from our departure. We feel ready and we feel our horses are ready. We have a few loose ends to tend to, but after all we have accomplished so far, we know we have made into the home stretch. A lot of work goes into an adventure of this magnitude, and we would be remiss in not acknowledging the tremendous amount of constant and unwavering support we have been blessed to receive by so many.
