The Long Riders' Guild

Non-Equestrian Expeditions

Long Riders are an adventurous breed!  If for any reason they can't use horses, then they set off using another form of transport - their feet, a boat, skis, reindeer ... !

Listed below are brief details of several intrepid Long Riders who are making amazing journeys.  

Rosie Swayle Pope, who made a Long Ride in Chile, including riding alone through the infamous Atacama Desert, is now running alone around the world!  Click on picture to go to her website.

Here is a good BBC article about Rosie

Evelyn Landerer started off making a Long Ride in the Russian Altai. Unfortunately her companions let her down, and then winter set in.  As she said in an email to The Guild in late November, "In certain areas there is already so much snow that the animals could hardly find anything to eat and had to rely on hay drops.  So now I will switch to skis, or maybe reindeer if I can find the reindeer nomads."
