There isn't any formal organization to the process of linking would-be Tevis
riders with horses for lease.  There are three possibilities, however, two of
which are represented in the cc-list on this reply:  

1) Folks on the RideCamp email list may have a Tevis horse they are willing to
lease, and can reply DIRECTLY TO YOU about it;

2) Potato Richardson (who won the '98 Tevis Cup) sometimes leases from his herd;
and,

3) The third avenue is a listing on the Tevis website Bulletin Board page,
http://www.foothill.net/tevis/BBOARD.HTM which I will update sometime today. 
Please let me know if you do find a match, as I will leave the note posted on
the BBoard until next July otherwise.

Good Luck!
