Step 1. Be Curious.

If you are wondering how a 100 mile ride through the mountains in one day is possible, then you are one step closer to riding TEVIS. We have created this page to help you get there. Here is an honest and demystifying lesson in why you can do it:

YOU CAN DO IT!

2. Use Our Resources

Rider Resources, that is! A page dedicated to connecting prospective riders with locally sourced resources:

  • Horses (for rent/wanted)
  • Transportation/trailerpooling
  • Lodging/boarding
  • Mentor/coach/training partner hookup
  • Crew
  • Tack and supplies

3. Pre-Ride The Tevis Trail

Being familiar with the trail is a great confidence builder. We keep a detailed log of the access points and trail conditions on our Pre-riding the Tevis Trail page:

4. Education

For 2025 we are offering both an Educational Clinic and Night Ride, as well as the Tevis Training Ride weekend to assist riders at all levels of preparedness.

Take it from 20-time Tevis finisher, Lori Stewart, “The Clinic or Training Ride is money and time well spent! AND it is the most fun you can have while getting ready for Tevis.“

Education and training

5. Register For Tevis

Once you meet the qualification standards and get some experience on the course, it’s time! Register for The Tevis Cup and get ready for one amazing day on the Western States Trail, from the Sierra Nevada peaks to the American River Canyon, to Auburn, CA.
