Awareness of the outside world. “This month we completed 3 days of trail work on the Western States Trail in Auburn State Recreation Area (ASRA), solely on the stretch affected by the Mosquito Fire.” The Tevis Cup: Traiwork Update, March 21, 2023.

Virtual Tevis Cup 2023
100 Miles in 100 Days
19 April to 30 July
Rodney – 4 miles this week, 93 miles total
Milton – 6 miles this week, 89 miles total
Tues 6 June to Mon 12 June
Mileage, handwalk & hitch.
Although we are still doing horse things regularly, work sessions are not conducive to making progress down the trail. When Milton hitches, I play header and Rodney stays in the barn. When Rodney lunges, he doesn’t get any miles for going around in circles and Milton stays in the barn. And so on. Glad we got a good start early on.
Slow & Steady
The Virtual Tevis has been an excellent way to bring Milton back from surgery and three months of stall rest. Without it, we would have probably trotted more & sooner, as well as been tempted to take a day off here and there. Daily strolls are the way to go. The VT has provided enforced patience.
Rodney did not have the massive physical insult, but he did take the three months off. So, it’s been good for him as well.
