\"Image\"<\/a>A lifelong horse enthusiast from southern Chester County has been selected as one of a handful of Americans to ride in the 2014 Mongol Derby, a grueling, 1,000-kilometer (621 mile) trek across Mongolia.<\/p>\n

Bonnie Hutton, director of After The Races (ATR), a nonprofit she founded to rehabilitate and then find homes for unwanted retired racehorses, will ride a string of 25 semi-wild Mongolian horses over 10 days. Riders brave unpredictable weather and varied terrain including rivers, mountains, deserts, and plains. Temperatures can range from freezing at night to a blistering100\u00baF (38\u00baC) during the day, an ATR news release said.<\/p>\n

Participants are encouraged to ride for charity, and Hutton will be riding for ATR. She hopes to become the first American woman to win the Mongol Derby.<\/p>\n

Donations of needed equipment, pledges to After The Races and corporate sponsorships are currently being sought. The entrance fee for the race is $12,000. Hutton will be maintaining a blog on her training and participation in the Mongol Derby.<\/p>\n
