Month 6 | THE LAST MONTH
I’m putting the 4 weeks of Month 6 together because they are the final four weeks of our second solo journey. 4 weeks spent resting Roxy and getting set up with an English teaching job.

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.

About our Long Rides
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…
Comfort for horse and rider
What I’m about to say is worth THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. It’s the most IMPORTANT THING FROM MY TRIP…

I want to thank everyone I came into contact with during the 5000 miles of hope solo horse ride from Canada to Guatemala.
