Application Form
Things you need to know ( AND agree to!) before you apply for the Steel Horse Gallop!
The Steel Horse Gallop is one of the
l
ongest charity motorbike rides
on the planet.
It is a TOUGH ride - this is an
endurance
ride. 1400 kilometres as a minimum (that’s almost 900 miles for those of you who don’t do kilometres!) in 10 days!
While most days we will ride for around 6 hours, you will need to be sufficiently fit to ride up to 10 hours in a day.
We will be outside in the wilderness traversing many different types of terrain
.
There
WILL
be : Miles of blazing desert,
Holes ( gopher / marmot/ fox etc), steep slopes UP & DOWN, river crossings, bog, and all manner of other unanticipated technical challenges. There will be times when we are separated from the support vehicle.
For your own safety and the enjoyment of all participants, you have to tell us
the truth
about your height, weight and riding history. If we find you have misled us, we will ask you to leave the ride and
forfeit your entrance and ride fee and donations are never refundable
.
Helmets will be a requirement
- regardless of your thoughts.
All Steel Horse Gallopers MUST be in possession of a current motorcycle license from their home country.
You will be required to raise (or donate) $4,500 USD for Veloo Foundation's
Children of the Peak Sanctuary Project.
You will be
required
to complete information for your Steel Horse Gallop Fundraising Page on Veloo Foundation website and you will be required to raise funds through sponsorship on this site, These funds will go directly to help the children at the Children of the Peak Sanctuary and will be a VERY great help to some of the poorest children on the planet and will make you feel great!
You
may NOT raise funds through any other alternate
crowd funding
type site.
The Steel Horse Gallop 2025 will be limited to 30
participants
.
Yup. Only 30…that’s why we are so picky about the qualities of our applicants.

Height & Weight
We need to know your relative size so that we can ensure we have a bike suitable for you. Himalayans are, by and large smaller than the average Adventure bike and for their welfare we like to ensure that our riders are not too big. Please note that there is no hard and fast weight limit rule. Each rider is assessed on a number of criteria with weight & size being only two.

Riding Experience
We will be using the Royal Enfield - Himalayan Scram 411cc - 27 horsepower - It has been tested across country and due the nature of Mongolia is suited very well, it will also not really allow you to get ripping up the Steppe, people depend on the Steppe daily we are just passing through in awe of their daily view.
What makes you think you can ride the Steel Horse Gallop? Please describe your riding experience - how much, how recent, where in the world?

Driving Licence
Everyone thinks they are a motorbike expert, even those who don't actually have a licence, we need to see an unaltered scan of your driving licence front and back, to ensure you can in fact legally ride a bike in your home country.

Outdoor Adventure Skills & Endurance Experience
It's hot, you are sore from bouncing around on your bike all day yesterday, deer fly bites in places you didn't know you had, there are holes, you haven't slept because the dog was barking all night keeping the wolves away, the bikes you're riding seems to have a mind of its own and your riding gear could up an walk away by themselves they are so filthy...and you've got another 80 km to ride today if you want to finish. Still think you're tough enough to ride the Steel Horse Gallop? Please describe your outdoor, endurance and adventure experience, any travel to remote areas, and appetite for the road less travelled?

Costs
The price for the Steel Horse Gallop 2025 includes a $500 USD non refundable deposit, $4,500 ride fee ( to be paid to Horse Trek Mongolia directly) and a requirement to raise a minimum $4,500 USD for Veloo Foundation.
PLEASE keep in mind that this is a CHARITY ride so the first $4,500 ( your ride fee) will cover trek expenses and will support a number of local families who work hard to help us put on this event. Your charity portion
will go directly to help the Veloo Foundation - Children of the Peak Sanctuary Project. ALL of the money you will pay / raise for this ride will stay in Mongolia and will benefit herders, children in serious need and handicapped people. That's a good feeling isn't it?
Have you got a plan to finance your place?
We will be asking for the first non refundable registration fee of $500.00 USD upon acceptance to the ride, and the final payment of approximately $4,500.00 USD on or by December 31st, 2024 or 90 days before the start of the ride - whichever is earlier . You will be allowed fundraise (or pay directly if you prefer) for the Charity portion of $4,500 USD and, in fact, will be encouraged to fundraise more than the required $4,500.
You will have until May 1st, 2025 to raise the full $4,500 USD.
Accepted riders who do not meet this deadline will forfeit their place on the ride and will not receive a refund.
We will provide you with tools and models to help with the fundraising and we hope that all the riders will raise well in excess of the required $4,500 USD.
Qualified American and Canadian donors will receive a tax receipt.
