Welcome to “Fading Hoofbeats,” an extraordinary journey where courage meets wilderness, hoofbeat by hoofbeat. We are a team of four adventurers, embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to ride from the Mexican border in New Mexico to the Canadian border in Montana and back down to the Mexican border in Arizona. This epic quest isn’t just about the miles covered; it’s a story of connection, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of both humans and horses against the backdrop of some of the most breathtaking landscapes North America has to offer.
