In 2011 my son was born and I feel that he is now strong and grown up enough to make plans for a long journey starting in 2014. This is why I am writing to the Long Riders' Guild. Do you know of any people who have travelled with horses and small children aged 3 or less for several weeks or months? No matter whether the horses were used for packing, riding or to draw a wagon. I am also looking for people (preferably with equally aged children) who would like to explore Germany/Europe by such way, i.e. very slowly and with a sense for the beauty of the moment in order to accommodate the trip to the needs of the child/children."
