"Helping the most vulnerable citizens seems an appropriate way to repay the Mongolian people we will meet along the way for their incredible hospitality and generosity in sharing the wonders and secrets of their beautiful country with us."

Allan Bolster & ​Nicola Bolster CAN

"​We are overjoyed to be taking part in the Blue Wolf Totem Charity Ride! Allan Bolster and I (Nicola von Rosen-Bolster) felt a strong resounding "YES" in our hearts when we learned about the opportunity to apply to not only be on horseback through stunningly beautiful Mongolia, but in doing so help people down on their luck in Mongolia."

"There is something so magical about this country that it just fills my soul. The people are the most welcoming, hospitable people I’ve ever met. 
Now I’m blessed with the opportunity to ride the length and breadth of Mongolia to raise funds for the Veloo Foundation. I’m excited to part of fund raising for this incredible foundation that is changing the lives and futures of families"

"I have always had a longing for adventure and have found, over the last 4 years, that Mongolia fills this longing. I am thrilled to have been given the extraordinary opportunity to ride in this new adventure, an incredible 3,600 kms in 84 days across Mongolia. The Blue Wolf Totem Charity Ride is not just about me having a grand adventure, it’s also about raising funds for this important humanitarian cause."

I’m excited to explore the untamed terrain, visit the communities, and immerse myself in the culture. The Blue Wolf Totem Ride will fulfill all of these things in spades, as well as provide a multitude of sites and adventures I have yet to imagine.

Mongolia is a vast country going through rapid change. Families, who once were nomadic herders, have had to uproot their lives and move into the capitol city of Ulaanbaatar and have slipped through the cracks. Being a herder, these skills though impressive, aren’t transferable to city living. These proud people who once lived off the land are having to survive by scavenging the garbage dump.

The country is incredible, the photos never do it justice, and the people are some of the friendliest and most hospitable I've ever met.  I never thought however that it would be like this...  The Blue Wolf Totem Charity Ride will be an adventure like no other, and the only way to see the real Mongolia, by horseback. And the best part is the opportunity to raise money for such a great cause, the Veloo Foundation and the Children of the Peak Sanctuary.

What an exciting opportunity to be selected to ride possibly the longest charity ride in history, the Blue Wolf Totem Ride. To have the ability, to raise awareness and support for children in Mongolia is just naturally my next big step!

When I was 9 my father gave me my first horse, to train. As I grew, my love for children and horses grew. Each horse, each person I have worked with, has influenced me for good. With my best friend, my husband, I have raised 6 of my own children. This has led me to a rich and wonderful life. 

​ Changing peoples lives, one horse at a time.

I am really happy and proud to be one of the 15 lucky riders chosen for this expedition. More than what this trek represents, I hope to inspire girls and women in my community and around to believe in themself and do what they really want to. No matter where you come from, no matter how much money you have, you can accomplish big things. No matter who you are, you can make a difference in the world!

. I am (we are) getting this amazing opportunity to discover all the hidden gems and wonders of the locals in each community we pass through in one epic horseback riding adventure - the longest charity ride in history!

​I’m hoping that by bringing awareness of the Veloo Foundations efforts to provide a school and haven for the Mongolian children who survive on the garbage dump in Ulanbaatar that I’ll at a minimum be able to reach my fundraising goal.
