This information-packed international bestseller should be on every endurance and competitive trail rider's shelf. To spend hour after hour on the back of a horse is a dream come true for many riders. To ride for miles--25, 50, or even 100--on a fit horse, is an extremely satisfying experience, whether done in competition or just for pleasure. This thrill does not come easily however; it requires immense dedication from the rider and a lot of hard work from the horse. No other equestrian sports demand such a continuous training effort as do endurance and competitive distance riding. To reach the highest level of the sports--competing in a 100-mile ride--requires years of careful conditioning. Even a 25-mile ride demands close attention to every nuance of a horse's being--during the many miles of work beforehand and during the competition itself. It is the horse's welfare that must come above all else.

First Star to the Right and Straight on Till Morning.... At the 90-mile vet check she sat in the middle of the road crying, claiming extreme illness and trying to avoid her nightmarish fears her horse would die of founder or colic, or anything. The last ten miles of trail stretched forever in her mind, black like licorice taffy. After a large measure of TLC from her patient and understanding crew, she and the gelding were out of the check and on the trail again. The entire universe shrank to center on the pair in the moonlight. Time stopped and the world faded into nothingness. They were running in a small, ever-changing pocket of existence, the rhythm of his hooves, the heartbeat of that universe. Ribbons and trail appeared before them and lost substance as they moved past. For the rider, clinging to the saddle, there was no thought, no pain, no emotion, only the instinctive drive to chase past each ribbon as it appeared. Suddenly her horse jumped sideways, eyes and ears frozen forward. Awakened from her trance, she oriented herself on his suspected woods troll, a familiar embankment that meant they were a half-mile from home. Easing him past the scary object, she sent the gelding on, clinging to his neck. As his soft lope swept them across the finish line, she wanted to laugh out loud or cry, but was unable to summon the strength for either. A few small tears trickled down her cheek, the only sign of the enormous pride she felt inside.

Mindy Davies dreamt of attempting Australia's premier ride, the Tom Quilty Gold Cup long before she got the chance to start out in Endurance Horse Riding in 2012. She kept the popular blog "To Complete is To Win" going for three years so that she could take her readers from all over the world, along for the ride to chase down her dreams. The blogs are now available in a beautifully printed book so that the story may continue to inspire others and their dreams in the sport of Endurance Horse Riding. "I only started writing to share my exciting adventure with close family and friends and as something I could read to remember my adventures when I am old and cant remember putting my pants on in the mornings. To my surprise the stories of how I started out in Endurance quickly gained momentum like a snowflake in an avalanche as more friends shared with their friends and so on. The online blog "To Complete Is To Win" originally was just a simpler way to share the stories with an increasing number of people asking for more. Then it started to attract hits from all over the world and people started to contact me with delightfully encouraging feedback of how my story impacted them. I had to pinch myself. My story isn't about rising up from devastating tragedy or overcoming massive odds but about average little me, working my way through the everyday obstacles that life threw at me. Everyday obstacles that made me question my own ability to achieve such advantageous goals and dreams in Endurance Horse Riding. Lets face it, life doesn't make it easy to do the fun stuff... but I wasn't going to give up until I at least tried my hardest to get there. I would love nothing more than for this book to continue inspiring and motivating others to achieve their own dreams despite life's setbacks. For this reason I share my story of continual learning with transparency; the good, the bad and everything in between!" ~ Mindy
