Liz Daniels is joined by EquiTeam member Dot Still and Hilary Barnard, better known as the "Gaucho Grannies", as they prepare to take on the gruelling Gaucho Derby, a 500km adventure race on horseback across the wild landscapes of Patagonia, all in support of Riders Minds.

Both Dot and Hilary have previously represented Great Britain internationally in TREC, so they're no strangers to endurance riding, challenging terrain and complex navigation. But the Gaucho Derby brings a unique twist: it's a true test of horsemanship, with wild camping and semi-feral horses allocated by drawing numbers from a hat.

Riding over 10 days, sleeping in tents, going without showers and navigating the realities of life on the trail, the Argentinian race will push them physically and mentally. In this episode, they share what it takes to prepare for such an extraordinary challenge - from planning and survival skills to mindset, resilience and character.

An inspiring conversation about adventure, determination and stepping well outside your comfort zone. Follow Dot and Hillary here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1586242972280820 Follow the trackers here: https://equestrianists.com/gaucho-derby/
