Horseback Adventures and Endurance Riding Margaret Reynolds is an endurance rider who enjoys traveling abroad on horse adventures. When my friend and listener, John Zeliff, told me she would make a great guest, I listened. John is president of the NATRC , and we had him on the show a while back to talk about endurance riding. Margaret Reynolds is a Master Growth Catalyst of Breakthrough Masters Unlimited. For over 20 years, she has helped companies grow and improve their businesses. She has always had a love of horses. Like many, after her kids grew up and went out on their own, she got a horse. Margaret found endurance riding was her thing and joined both NATRC and AERC to compete in the sport. She also had a bucket list of places she would like to ride. With a tight group of friends sharing the same desire to ride in exotic places, they took their first horseback adventure to Spain. They rode the country, met the people, and sample the food. Margaret and her friends got to see the country from a unique vantage point. Since then, she has traveled and rode horses in many places, including Jordan, Portugal, and Morroco. Margaret is an avid writer and documents lessons from these trips in her blog . One of her articles about a horseback adventure she had in India riding a Marwari horse was published in the Outdoor Journal . Margaret tells us the trips were transformative, and she encourages any with a inkling to pursue their dream.
