Donkey Endurance (Riding!)

Ok, you all, there is a sport called endurance riding in which a horse, and now sometimes a mule, races along a course that is 50 miles or 100 miles.

Here is a link to a photo of an intrepid Donkey and rider preparing for endurance riding:

I have a friend at work who runs races that are 100 miles! He says it started when a fellow was in a race where you partly rode a horse and partly "hoofed" it on your own two feet. The fellow's horse couldn't be ridden for the entire way, for some reason, and the intrepid fellow decided to "hoof" it on his own!

Ok, I thought I was wacko!

Just so's you know we can do things far beyond what we thought was reasonably possible...

I think ice cream marathons (after the fast) are more my speed!

Best,
