This year's Tevis Education Ride will include not just a trip along part of the Tevis Trail with experienced mentors, but also a Q & A panel with the 2025 Tevis Cup winner, Heather Reynolds, and 2025 Haggin Cup winner, John Perry. They will be joined in the panel discussion by several other BIG Tevis names (keep following to find out who they are). Register for the Education Ride here: https://teviscup.org/trail-to-the-trail/education/

This is John Perry's first Tevis buckle which he earned in 2015 aboard Kamazon (FG QUE MASON DEZANTE) who completed the ride in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Man with a Mission

2026 marks not only the Tevis Cup’s 70th anniversary, but also the 15th and final year of Chuck Stalley as Ride Director.

For many in the Tevis community, it is hard to imagine the ride without Chuck at the helm. Over the years, he has become an institution in his own right—guiding riders through their 100-mile journeys with humility, steady leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the ride and its people.

Chuck is known for his team-first spirit, his calm can-do attitude, and his remarkable ability to bring people together. Whether he is swapping stories, solving problems, or rallying volunteers, his approachable and affable nature has made him a favorite among riders, veterinarians, and volunteers alike. He also has a well-earned reputation for finding both hidden bargains and willing helping hands to make sure the ride has everything it needs.

Perhaps most legendary is Chuck’s ability to adapt under pressure. Over the years, fires, snowstorms, and last-minute challenges have threatened the ride more than once—but Chuck has always found a way forward.

In 2011, heavy snowfall forced the Tevis Cup to move from its traditional summer date to October. When even more snow blanketed Robie Park just before ride day, the route had to be changed at the last minute to an out-and-back course from Auburn to Gorman Ranch Road in Michigan Bluff. Through it all, Chuck remained focused on what mattered most: taking care of the riders and their equine partners. Not even a kidney stone on ride day could keep him away for long. After a quick trip to the hospital, Chuck returned to continue managing the ride.

That determination, resilience, and dedication have defined Chuck’s years as Ride Director. They have also earned him two special honors this year: the California Trails and Greenways Award and, with his wife, Pam, the Western States Trail Foundation’s Dru Barner Award for distinguished service.

Chuck, thank you for your extraordinary leadership, your countless hours of service, and the care and heart you brought to the Tevis Cup for so many years.

***This buckle was earned by Pam Stalley in 2005 aboard Kez Ima Seykret. If that last name sounds familiar, it's because her husband is none other than our Tevis Ride Director, Chuck Stalley.
