September 4, 2017 | Rockingham, Canada. Chris MacLuckie and purebred Morgan mare OTR She Roxs, b.2008.
This was the first day of my first journey by horse. But it was 3 years after dedicating myself completely to learning what I needed to endure a year long ride.
From Northern to Southern Pennsylvania
We took our extra days off at the 500 mile 2 weeks ago. On Oct 23 we left from Odin in northern Pennsylvania.
Hoof care and protection- Easy Boot Gloves
Roxy has never been shod. She uses Easyboot Gloves. I love them, she loves them, it gives us the freedom for her to be barefoot every night during our 5000 mile solo horse ride
From Slaterville Springs, NY to Sweden Valley, PA
The first 3 days were immensely hilly. From Slaterville Springs to South Danby was nuts, all hills. From Danby to Spencer wasn’t too bad, but from Spencer to Chemung we went up and down a few massive hills.
How we travel
We do around 15 miles a day. I walk up and down steep hills. I have begun to jog and shuffle. I let roxy graze when there is nice pasture at the side of the road. I get on and off her up to at least a dozen times a day.
