Ende of the Trail

WELCOME to Ende of the Trail

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.

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.
