solo horse travel books, gear & bags
I was invited to visit Xochiilt Sosa Delfín and her Equine Therapy Centre in May 2019. I had already planned to visit another center in Puerto Veracruz while riding my horse north through Mexico so I gladly accepted.

Hi guys. Welcome to 5000 Miles of Hope! 5000 Miles of Hope is pretty simple. It’s one unshod horse and her guide and rider. Morgan mare Roxy and Canadian Chris MacLuckie. We travel solo with no vehicle support. We find our places to stay, and our food and feed – as they come…
Taking off in the morning is sweet. The road ahead beckons. You know you and your horse can do it….Once you’re on the road the day is wide open. I usually started by walking beside Roxy. I’d walk to loosen up the beast, and see how she was moving.
I spent the 5 and a half years before our trip living in areas with really poor cell reception, or none at all. Rural Canada is notoriously bad for service.
I want to thank everyone I came into contact with during the 5000 miles of hope solo horse ride from Canada to Guatemala.
Chris MacLuckie is a humanitarian, environmentalist, author, farmer and animal lover. Animals have always been part of his life. Riding horses, however is relatively new for him.
Most of the horses I’ve seen in Guatemala have been work horses. A cargo/ riding hybrid.
