New Year New Ride

Ende Of the Trail is the official website of Bernice Ende, Lady Long Rider. This site contains up-to-date information on her ride, newspaper articles, sponsors, and photos pertaining to her past and current rides.

Based in Trego, Montana, Bernice Ende's two previous rides have totaled over 7,000 miles. Her first ride in 2005 took her from Trego, Montana to Albuquerque, New Mexico: a 2,000-mile ride. Her second ride began May of 2006, when she rode from trego, Montana to Minnesota, New Mexico, Southern California, up the East side of the Sierra Nevada's, to the West Coast of Oregon, across Eastern Washington, the Panhandle of Idaho, and home again, completing a 5,000-mile ride in September of '07.
February of 2008 heralds her departure on a 3,000 mile ride which will take her through Death Valley, Yuma, the Midwestern United States, and back home via the Dakotas, and Montana.

Bernice's rides are funded by a variety of sponsors, by pass-the-hat talks she gives on her travels, and by donations from many individuals. Bernice's Long Rides are primarily about people: meeting people, inspiring people, sharing stories with people. She believes that the image of a horse and rider is a powerful symbol for all of us, an image of freedom and independence which everyone can relate to on a fundamental level.
