Horseback Riding

To organize equestrian journeys far from home one must necessarily contact somebody of the area where one intends to go: Vagabondo tries to favor small or very small local realities instead of tour operators and international organizations.
Our links were kindly indicated to us by The Long Riders' Guild, the international association of equestrian explorers.

The Long Riders' Guild is the world's first international association of equestrian explorers. It was formed in 1994 to represent people who have ridden more than 1,000 continuous miles on a single equestrian journey.
