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.
This book will be published in 2008 with a cover price of US$22 or 22 euros + shipping.  If you would like to order a copy in advance for US$15 or 15 euros + shipping, please email us for details.
