'Great Horse Treks Of The World' is a book to inspire and to trigger the reader's longing for adventure. It's about getting into a saddle; of turning dreams into reality, a written and visual exploration of some of the world's most magnificent and remote destinations, experienced on the back of one of man's most beloved four-legged friends, the horse.
Think of a magnificent location, and chances are you can visit on an extended horseback trek. From the shores of Costa Rica to the rolling wilderness of Australia's Snowy Mountains, you can see it all from the comfort (or otherwise!) of the saddle! Be entranced as you ride with a herd of giraffe in Botswana's Okavango Delta; follow the bridle paths walked by saints and sinners in medieval Italy; or join other City Slickers on a cattle drive in the heart of Wyoming. This is an evocative book focusing on cultural diversity, on fascinating history and tradition, on magnificent creatures and on awesome scenery.
The book is intended to inspire and motivate, to encourage readers to experience the joy of horseback exploration for themselves.
