WHAT READERS SAY
Concise how-to English manuals filled with flowing full features.
Chris is a rare breed of rider, with knowledge that can only be acquired through experience. It’s fascinating to learn from someone who is traveling long distances by horse, today.
Simple, well-illustrated & oh-so-informative, Long Rider Chris MacLuckie shares big picture essentials that every rider must address to be successful. From lessons learned during his preparation, to those acquired during a year on the road, he distills hard-won experience into four big topics that matter most for solo horse travel.
This book is a must read.

The GuideBook is packed full of incredibly useful information and advice without being overwhelming or pretentious. It’s very user friendly and detailed for any level of gardening experience. I really like the way in which the information on each crop is laid out. Very digestible (*haha see what I did there?!) and easy to navigate. I really enjoyed the month by month breakdown of garden work. Reading it in the winter has been such a tease as I’m itching to get back out and get some dirt under my nails!
