Bernice Ende, 54, talks about her 6,000 mile cross-country horseback ride to a group of students Friday morning at Peterson Elementary School in Kalispell. Her horse, Honor, is at left. Ende said she rode across country on $20 a month, earning money by giving lectures along the way. She said at times she was forced to eat horse biscuits to keep from going hungry.
