For thousands of years we have travelled on horseback but until now no one has shown us the way. The Encyclopaedia of Equestrian Exploration is the most extensive study of equestrian travel ever created. The three-volume series offers every conceivable type of advice about equestrian travel such as how to plan a route, how to choose a travelling companion, how to find a road horse, how to load a pack saddle, how many miles to travel per day, how to feed and shoe your horse, how to cross rivers, how to negotiate borders, how to survive in traffic, how to deter horse thieves, etc. Enriched by nearly a thousand images, the books contain the wisdom of more than 400 Long Riders. The Bibliography includes knowledge gained from more than 200 titles dating back hundreds of years. Volume II consists of The Challenges. This volume contains the most comprehensive investigation of equestrian travel problems ever compiled. Geographic difficulties include mountains, deserts, rivers, jungles and quicksand. Riding in extreme heat and polar cold are examined. Solutions are provided for manmade perils such as bridge crossings and tunnels. Information is provided on how to safely transport horses by ship, plane, truck and trailer. Modern ordeals such as hostile bureaucrats and aggressive motorists are scrutinized. The decision to carry firearms is carefully considered. Problems involving cultural traditions and the hiring of guides are resolved. Traditional concerns, including dangerous animals, poisonous insects and equine medical emergencies are fully documented. Special chapters contain extensive examinations regarding sore backs, colic and how to deal with equine mortality while travelling. Created after decades of study by CuChullaine O'Reilly, the Founder of the Long Riders' Guild, the Encyclopaedia of Equestrian Exploration is filled with the indispensable knowledge needed to resolve problems, overcome hardships and avoid dangers while travelling. The three volumes are not about one country or culture. They represent the collective wisdom of humanity's travel on horseback. They are books of marvels that include precious stories, valuable ideas, forgotten history and endangered practical knowledge.
