Though "The
Horse Travel Handbook" will be edited and published by The Long Riders' Guild
Press, it will contain the wisdom that the Long Riders collectively gained the hard
way - out on the road, in all
kinds of weather, travelling across a patchwork
of countries. And because it will be a world-wide literary effort, "The
Horse Travel Handbook" will not only offer advice about the basics of
equestrian travel, such as how many miles to travel per day, how much food and
water to provide for your horses, how to load a pack saddle, how to cross
rivers, etc.
In addition, it will offer you advice that only a Long Rider knows. If you
are planning to cross the Great Outback of Australia, ride over the Andes
Mountains, thread your way through the impassable Darien Gap Jungle, or look for
a stable in London, a Long Rider can tell you how they did it. Or perhaps you're
stuck at a rain-swept border in Patagonia with suspicious border guards, hounded
by equine-hating bureaucrats in Sweden, wondering what to feed your mount
in the foothills of Viet Nam, or nervous about lions turning your pony into a
night time tidbit in Tanzania? Then a Long Rider will inform you how they
solved these frustrating equine puzzles.
