The Tevis Cup: To Finish Is To Win

Summary: A Galloping Read!
Review: I didn't think I would get into this but the book took me on a fabulous journey! I could not put it down. I felt like I was a part of this and wanted to win it with the people I was reading about. These riders are the ultimate survivors. You won't regret this read!

Summary: Enjoyable read
Review: I thought this book was a very enjoyable read. The history was very interesting and answered some of the questions I had always had about this incredible ride.

I rode all 100 miles of this trail during a training seminar in the mid-1980s. I was hoping to read something about these training sessions, but there was no mention of them. However, it did bring all the memories of that incredible experience back to me.

I would have liked it longer with a story for each winner, but you can't have everything. Worth the read.

Summary: Check your facts please
Review: I was excited to buy this book and was fascinated by most of the early historical perspective.

Most endurance riders will recognize the 2003 Haggin and Tevis Cup horse, Split, is Master Motion. Red is Crystals Charm, NOT "Major Motion". "Major Motion" does not exist.

These facts are so easy to verify just by checking the AERC records (or just ask any endurance rider), there is no reason for these errors. Just ruined the whole book for me because the veracity of the rest of the book is suspect.

Summary: Hail to the Tevis Cup Ride!
Review: It's a pity that the "a reader from Mountain View, CA" author chooses to remain anonymous while making a harebrained remark about this terrific book. Marnye Langer has spent years covering the Tevis Cup Ride and depicts the big picture very well. I say feel free to write your own version of the Tevis Cup Ride and see how close you can get to the factual bulls eye.

To date this is the best account of the Tevis Cup Ride, the granddaddy of the entire sport of Endurance Riding, and the inspiration for Auburn, California as the Endurance Capital of the World.
