Louis D. Hall is a writer, public speaker, and founder of The Big Hoof, a Scottish-registered charity harnessing the power of long-distance horse journeys to champion mental health and wellbeing. Growing up in rural Scotland, Louis discovered his calling for epic travel early on. At 18, he trekked to northern Mongolia in search of the nomadic Tsaatan tribe, where his first encounters with horses ignited a lifelong affinity for their "connecting powers." This spark led to bolder quests: a solo 1,147-mile ride from Scotland to England's southern tip, raising £38,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust; and a grueling 111-day odyssey across Europe with his Arabian mare Sasha, blazing a pioneering trail through the snow-swept Ligurian Alps, storm-lashed Pyrenees, and partisan-haunted paths to Cape Finisterre, Spain—"the end of the land."https://www.thebighoof.com/Book: in Green: Two horses, Two Strangers, a Journey to the End of the Land - https://a.co/d/3CVfGLoSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this revisited episode, Mason visits with Becca Boylan, a fifth generation Montanan who completed a 475 miles run across her home state to share the story of her mother's fight against Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The inspiration for the run came after Becca's experience helping her mother fight the disease for the past year and using running as a way to "metabolize" the emotions she was going through.Through the metaphor of running, Becca, the oldest of six kids, hoped to show others that we are capable of far more than we think possible and we hold the strength we need to face any of life's challenges, whether it's a cancer diagnosis or a mountain marathon. Instagram: @beccaboylanThe Montana Run Website: https://gamma.app/docs/Join-The-Montana-RunSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
