The Equestrianists
The Mongol Derby and Gaucho Derby are moving to a new home as the founding races of the Equestrianists.
After being created and run by The Adventurists for over a decade, we’re taking the sport we invented – long distance multi-horse racing – and expanding it across the globe with a World Series.
We’re scouring the globe for those few magical places where horses, humans, and history mix. Only there is it suitable for equestrian racing on this epic scale. Races that test the endurance and skill of the rider, where to take part is an achievement, to finish a victory, and to win almost irrelevant.
