Wow She did it!!!
4 August 2022
Wow it's done!!! What an incredible 10 days (actually Sam finished the race on the morning of Day 9). I'm sure many of you were glued to your screen watching that pink dot race from Horse Station to station. Sam was first off the starting line and in the lead and leading group for almost half the race, until Station 12, when she decided to stay with her riding buddies while they sat out vet penalties instead of heading out with two other riders. Even so, she kept in touch with those two and almost caught them up until she too was forced to sit out a penalty at the second to last station. She ended up crossing the line in 8th equal place, amongst the leading group of riders who swapped the lead between them for the whole race. What an amazing achievement, and all made possible by the wonderful support from all of you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Sam has been overwhelmed by all the support and congratulations she has received. She'll be putting together video and words in the coming weeks so we can all get a rider's eye view of what it was like to ride in the toughest Hore race in the world!!
