23,000 Miles Later | A Conversation with Marci Cunningham

🎙️ 23,000 Miles Later | A Conversation with Marci Cunningham What can more than 23,000 endurance miles teach us about horses, horsemanship, and longevity? In this episode of the Endurance Horse Podcast™, I sit down with longtime endurance rider Marci Cunningham, an AERC Decade Team rider, Pacific Southwest Region Director, and horsewoman whose endurance career spans decades and thousands of competition miles. Marci shares stories of the horses that carried her through the years, the partnerships that shaped her journey, and the lessons learned along the way. We discuss why longevity matters, the benefits of a slower and more thoughtful approach to riding, and how listening to our horses can help us build partnerships that stand the test of time. Whether you're a brand-new rider, chasing your first 50, or reflecting on a lifetime in the saddle, this conversation is a reminder that the greatest accomplishments are often built one mile, one ride, and one horse at a time. Because sometimes the goal isn't simply to go farther or faster—it's to still be enjoying the trail years from now.
