How does a girl that grew up in Western Victoria win the world’s longest and most grueling horse race, the Mongol Derby?

Accrediting her orienteering and navigational skills to school camps in the Australian wilderness, after her studies, Missy went to work for a horse safari outfit in Botswana, then ventured to South Africa, meeting her now beloved husband, George.

Fast forward a few years and Missy is entrenched in a busy, full life on their farm in Cape Town with four children and their animals: horses, dogs, cats, chickens and even a warthog at one stage!

Inspired to do the Mongol Derby after good friend Patrick Heffron (Irish) completed and came 2nd in 2022, Missy was looking for a bit of extra fun and adventure and she certainly got what she hoped for, whilst also having the time of her life, building special friendships and making incredible memories. Patrick’s Daughter Annabelle and Australian friend Josh Dales also took on the challenge.

Astoundingly Missy finished the ten day course in only eight days, coming home victorious.
