A New Zealander living in Perth who says he is not a good rider will hop on different horses to compete in the world's longest and toughest horse race, over 1000km across Mongolia later this year in the inaugural Mongol Derby.
Dave Murray, formerly of Tekapo, will be one of 25 riders from nine countries to race across the Mongolian plains from August 22, each of them changing horses every 40km.
Murray, 29, will raise funds to go toward the official charity Mercy Corps to support nomadic families and herders across Mongolia.
