Volume Three 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 III consists of The Journey, The Aftermath and The Epilogue. Practical matters such as Life on the Road are explained and emotional conflicts such as Saying Goodbye to Your Horse are addressed. The Epilogue investigates issues that confront us all as human beings. It is also a guidebook to the inner way. The wise Long Rider knows he is setting off on two journeys, the external and the interior, that he will be required to travel along the parallel streams which run through every equestrian journey, the practical and the philosophical. Both require careful study. The Encyclopaedia of Equestrian Exploration doesn't just tell you how. It reveals why. 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. Yet the books never read like a dictionary of dry facts. They are highly readable volumes filled with entertaining and inspiring stories, quotes and anecdotes. Just as importantly, they empower readers to turn their dream into a life-changing equestrian journey. Consisting of every scrap of wisdom found in ancient tomes, the lessons learned from countless miles and the practical knowledge garnered from generations of horse-humans, these books represent mankind's collective equestrian travel heritage. Their message transcends nationality and time.
