The Long Riders' Guild

More Historical Long Riders discovered!

December 2008

A lot of equestrian water has passed under the Long Rider bridge since a noted research librarian casually mentioned to us that Lord Byron, the famous English poet, was also an avid equestrian explorer.

Since that discovery The Guild has documented the equestrian adventures of hundreds of astonishing Historical Long Riders, thereby allowing this project to flourish into an incredible body of unprecedented equestrian historical information. Yet the rapid growth of the HLR collection is largely due to the bevy of clues sent to Guild HQ from our readers around the world. The majority of the newly discovered Long Riders on offer in this update came from such volunteers.

Thus, we continue the series by publishing these summaries of more amazing Historical Long Riders.
