The Tevis Cup Ride is considered the worldâs premier endurance ride and often less than half finish. This year, 234 contestants from around the world started the ride, 129 finished. Better Garrett of Eckert, part of Ferganchickâs support crew, said Dodger is the first Norwegian Fjord horse to ever complete the Tevis and was the most photographed horse of the event. It is unusual for a draft pony to enter such a race, let alone finish it. The local club is especially proud of their accomplishment, noting that it is doubly amazing since a couple of months ago Brandy broke her femur. It is a testament to her stamina and determination that she was able to ride her horse for almost 24 hours straight. The Norwegian Fjord horse association will feature Brandy and Dodger on the front cover of its publication.
