Doc Soup is back on Feb 6 with ALL THE WILD HORSES at Eau Claire.

ALL THE WILD HORSES follows international riders from around the world as they compete in the Mongol Derby in Mongolia, the longest and toughest horse race on the planet.

In this race across 700 miles of Mongolian steppe the riders are on their own, navigating from horse station to horse station where they change horses every 30 miles.

They have to deal with dehydration, hypothermia, exhaustion, extreme weather, swollen rivers, attacking dogs and roaming wolves. The riders stay the nights out in the wild or with nomad families.

To choose a wrong horse at a horse station could get them bucked off, losing their mount in the process, or suffer more serious injuries.
