The Long Riders' Guild

Completed Expeditions

 

In 2012, inspired by Long Rider Aimé Tschiffely’s 1925 long ride from Buenos Aires to Washington, D.C., Filipe Leite (above) set out from Calgary, Canada and rode 16,000 kilometres (9,940 miles) to his native Brazil. The Journey Across the Americas lasted two years and required him to cross ten countries.   Filipe then departed on a Journey to the End of the Earth. That journey took him 8.000 kilometres (5,000 miles) across Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and on to the tip of Patagonia. Finally, on July 8th, five years to the day since he began his ride in faraway Canada, Filipe rode into the city of Ushuaia, Argentina. He had carried the Long Riders’ Guild flag (above) through sixteen countries and sixteen thousand kilometres lay behind him.

 

Ian Robinson had already made solo journeys across Mongolia, Tibet and Afghanistan. He is the first foreign equestrian explorer to venture into Yakutia in 125 years. His remarkable “Story from the Road” provides an eyewitness account that reveals how he rode through a landscape so vast and uninhabited that he did not see another human being for seventeen days.

Having set off from Patagonia twenty years ago, the German Long Rider and Founding Member of the Guild has survived countless challenges during this monumental journey. The first portion of the trip was done using two Criollo geldings. Having reached the Texas border, American authorities refused to allow the horses entry because they were found to be infected with piroplasmosis. After he found his horses a good home in Mexico, the Guild helped Günter locate BLM American mustangs to continue the trip. These horses had been trained in Colorado by prisoners in a special training programme. Those mustangs have now carried the German Long Rider to the top of Alaska!

After having ridden across Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and the Sudan, Billy Brenchley and Christine Henchie reached Uganda, where Billy became very ill and had to go to hospital in Johannesburg.

David Wewetzer of Germany has completed  one of the most important equestrian journeys recently undertaken, by setting off to ride along the newly created Iron Curtain Trail ! The former symbol of oppression has been turned into a new horse-friendly trail that runs from Turkey to the Arctic Circle and David was the first to attempt to ride a major portion of this historic new route. David, who chose the route because of the 20th anniversary of German reunification, set off from the shores of the Baltic Sea and halted after 500 miles.  His horse, while not being lame, didn't seem 100% sound either and, although the vets could find nothing wrong, David decided to end the journey.  True Long Rider responsibility!  Because of his great care for his mount, we have invited David to become an Associate Member.

Having reached Israel by boat from Greece, Discoli now appears not to have permission to proceed through Jordan or Egypt.
