The Horse Travel Handbook is a great source of proven advice.
This is the book I wish I’d read before I travelled twice (27 months - 5,000 miles) across the USA by horse and mule.
When folks ask me what’s the most important single
piece of advice I have for horse travelers I’ve always said, “just go”. Then I
followed up with a few tips on hoof care, saddles and shelter. Now, I’ve added
The Horse Travel Handbook to the list of things it would help folks to know
before striking out on a Long Ride.
Example? Before my 14-month Atlantic to Pacific journey, I wish I’d read the
Handbook’s section on hoof boots. I eventually figured it out on my own but man
what a pain. It would have been much simpler just to read the Handbook.
Not just for folks that want to ride across a continent, the Horse Travel
Handbook is a great source of proven advice for shorter trips, from afternoon to
overnight jaunts.
The best thing about The Horse Travel Handbook? It makes it easier than ever – whether you’re out for the afternoon or the month – to “just go”.
