In this episode of the podcast we'll check in with Hannah and Lisanne to hear about their adventures riding through the Dolly Sods Wilderness. Abilene (the Molly Mulestang) has decided to make some of her own adventures on the trial, so Lisanne is working out a few kinks in that regard. Zende is finding his own way of fitting in, while Hannah's string seems to be enjoying taking the lead. We're so happy that Chileno is feeling well enough to ride a stretch...so all in all, the team is weaving their way through West Virginia.
Take two young women with a passion for horses, both looking for a grand adventure, add four American Mustangs and a curious wild-born molly Mulestang, and you have the ingredients for the “Mustang Discovery Ride.” Presented by the Mustang Heritage Foundation, the Mustang Discovery Ride is a journey across the United States on the American Discovery Trail. Riders, Hannah Catalino and Lisanne Fear, will cover 12 states in 12 months, coast to coast from Delaware to California, riding American Mustangs with the assistance of a support crew. Both riders are trainers who have taken part in the Mustang Heritage Foundation Trainer Incentive Program (TIP). Hannah travels the world as a Mustang Ambassador and trainer presenting “Wild Horse Workshops” & Liberty Training Clinics. The two women rode out from Delaware’s historic Cape Henlopen State Park on September 28, 2021, and will continue their adventures through Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California. Lisa Diersen, Executive Director of the Mustang Discovery Foundation, is handling sponsorships and arrangements. Julianne Neal of JA Media Productions will host the podcast, as well as produce and direct a docu-series and documentary as the journey progresses. A team of EQUUS photojournalists and videographers will contribute to the film, each adding individual creative perspective of the ride. The Mustang Heritage Foundation, BLK water, Espana Silk, the EQUUS Film and Arts Fest, The Marley Project, JA Media Productions and a host of other sponsors are joining the Mustang Discovery Foundation in supporting the team along the way.
