23. Part Two of Tom Quilty Gold Cup 2019

Welcome to   Part Two The Tom Quilty Gold Cup 2019  Episode of  Endurance Horse Podcast  Created August 15, 2019    Hello and Welcome to Episode 23 of Endurance Horse Podcast! I’m Christina Hyke, an equine photographer based in Southern Wisconsin.    Since the beginning of Endurance Horse Podcast, Australia has been a part of the podcast.  And one of the most wonderful things about the podcast is its ability to connect riders from all parts of the world.  It is through those connections that I first learned of the Tom Quilty Gold Cup, a one day, 100 mile endurance ride based in Australia and inspired by the Tevis Cup.     *If you are new to endurance riding, you may hear different riders were first- that is because there is are weight divisions with placings as well as a Jr. rider division.   The TQ 2019 had an amazing story in that Jolene Cole placed first HW rider & BC, along side her daughter, Emma, who was also first place Jr and BC.   Flame, the horse that Emma was riding is from the same line of Chip Chase Sadaqa that Emma's grandfather, Peter Cole, rode to a Quilty win many years ago.  This family has endurance legacy running in their veins!   Thank you Emma and Jolene for sharing your journey & history, what a dream come true for you and your daughter.  In this episode of the podcast we are going to hear from the dauntless crew of Marvel Endurance, and yes, Kat- I caught that 'End Game' reference in your audio ;) (Marvel fan girl over here too)
