are setting of for much wider fields. Click on map to enlarge it. |

Dear Long Riders
I am starting my next trip in March/April 2009.
With a friend of mine, Daniel Tomasin, who is a professional photographer, we are setting off from Switzerland, with 4 horses and 1 dog, across Eastern Europe, Turkey, Russia and back to Switzerland across the new EU countries such as Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia.
With the entry of all these countries in the EU it should not be too difficult to cross borders.....we will see!
We think it'll take us 3 - 4 years, we don’t really know and we don't want to plan anything. We want to enjoy, to discover, and to make a lot of pictures, so that we can make a photo-book like a photo reportage when we come back!
Gitan [the horse who so bravely carried Jessica in 2007] is part of the trip that's why we take 4 horses, so that one of them can rest while the others are carrying us and the packsaddle!
I realise it is a BIG thing that we are planning but after my first experience with Gitan last year, I know I am made for that! We are now working a lot, learning to shoe the horses, learning veterinary and human first-aid!
