All you have to do in the endurance horse competition called the Tevis Cup is ride your horse over a mountainous one-hundred-mile course within a twenty four hour period gently enough so that when you arrive at the finish, a vet pronounces the animal completely fit. Whether you are still fit apparently doesn`t matter.
In California`s Sierra Nevada mountains near Lake Tahoe, riders from all over the world have gathered for fifty years to test their own and their horses stamina and courage in the Western States Trail Foundatio`s famous Tevis Cup 100 Miles In One Day Endurance Ride. Considered one of the most challenging events in the world of equestrian sports, the Tevis Cup is the ultimate test to both horse and rider."
