To organise a horse riding tour far from our country its necessary to get info and directions from someone on the spot. The links Vagabondo proposes represent small local resources.
The links have been kindly pointed out 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.
