The idea is motivation and momentum in a goal for you and your horse to achieve your milestone of 5000 miles. *There is no time limit to reaching this goal* take as long as you need. <u>You set your pace</u>, the days, the miles and if you aim for 25 per week you will be finding yourself at 100 miles by the end of the month! Or you can add up the miles over several weeks! You decide what is right for you and your horse to create those 5000 miles of memories with together. </span></h3>

If you are outside of the USA you will be mailed the embroiled patch only. Though you can request to have the medal shipped outside of the USA at your cost. </span><br /><span style="color:#34495e">For international participants we mail an embroidered patch of the same size and design of the medal. Thank you for understanding that if I paid for the international shipping it would cost me far more than what the sign up fee is and I cannot do that. Due to some unpaid international shipping, shipping of outside of USA requestedmedals will not be shipped unless the invoice for shipping is paid ahead quickly. </span><br /><span style="color:#34495e"> </span></h3>
