The ultimate endurance ride!

Check this out! A woman, her best mate and her little Arab.......riding from Los Angeles to New Hampshire. (That's pretty much one side of the US to the other, for those who, like me, don't know a lot about US geography!)

When I first came across this I couldn't help but think of Forrest Gump.......sorry guys.......you'll have to scroll through the archives to get the whole story, but it's just amazing. If you read right through you will learn that Sojourner, the horse, went through four homes without making a real bond with anyone before coming to Linny. Few people could ride him, and Linny was advised to look for a horse older and more experienced - but to her, the connection meant everything, and she connected with this one! Their story has been featured in Arabian Horse World 5 times, including this one.

This explains it best, from the blog:

On March 1^st, 2010, my friend, Walter, and I set off on an adventure with our Arabian horse, Sojourner. Together the three of us covered 3,700 miles traveling from Los Angles, CA to my childhood home in Bath, NH. I rode Soj and Walter drove our little Toyota Tacoma. 

I say “our” because what was once mine or once his is now ours since the ride poured its magical powers over us and made two platonic friends of 11 years fall in love. This blog tells the entire tale of our nearly 9 month horseback ride and brings us to the now where Sojourner, Walter, our cat, Porter, and I have landed in NH…a new little family with one big focus: LEATHER CREATIONS (and maybe a few others)....like planning a wedding!!!!
