The Issues: Preparing proper paperwork, prepping horse and rider, setting up rest stops, funding for the trip, prepping backup horses, preparing for varying weather, restocking along the way.  

Current Deadline for South to North Trip: March 2028

Current Deadline for East to West: March 2029

Step One: Deciding on the Journey

We are currently in the research phase for this adventure, which is figuring out a legal safe for horse and rider way to make the ride. Currently we are looking at starting in as far south FL as we can for the South to North route, but still deciding if we want ot go straight norht to Maine or a more diagonal route to ND or MT as the northern point. The reason for this is that the straight North route will take us through some -very- dangerous areas for horse and rider. The greater majority of the route would be very horse unfriendly. The route diagonally takes us through safer for horse and rider areas as well as the majority of that route are states with constitutional carry.
