About this listen

In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “ABC's of Horses” equestrian podcast, Christy Wood takes us on the Chief Joseph Trail Ride—a remarkable 1,300-mile journey retracing the historic route of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce. Spanning 13 segments over 13 years, the ride blends history, community, and adventure.

Christy shares her personal experiences on the trail, preparation tips for riders and horses, and the event’s evolution into a nonprofit dedicated to preserving its legacy. Learn how inclusivity has grown with the addition of non-Appaloosa horses, the role of educational programs and Nez Perce guest speakers, and how this ride fosters deep connections among participants.
