To some, a long ride is 10 miles long, ideally
undertaken on a warm summer’s afternoon through the rolling English
Countryside. To others a long ride
may be 1,000, 2,000 or even 3,000 miles long through the most difficult terrain
and the most challenging climates.
The Long Riders’ Guild is the world’s first
international association of equestrian explorers, and was formed to represent
men and women of all nations who have ridden more than 1,000 continuous miles on
a single equestrian journey. These long riders, for whom riding and a real
spirit adventure go hand in hand, have ridden on every continent except
Antarctica and collectively have written more than a hundred books on equestrian
travel. A list of those written by
British long riders is set out below, and they are available from the
BHS Online Bookshop. If you can’t
find the book (any book) you are looking for on the website, phone our team on
0844 8481660 and they will get it for you if it is still available.

Eye on the Hill
This is one of the most captivating
books in modern equestrian literature. It is poetry, set to the sound of a

secrets of back country Britain. It is a sweeping away of pedestrian restraint.
It is magical music sung to the tune of the lark singing and the saddle creaking
on a warm summer’s day. ISBN

fellow men and what may be over the next hilltop will, we hope, never be
satisfied. ISBN

Theodore Mason:
The South Pole Ponies
The men of the expedition called them "devils" - those headstrong, mischievous, untrained ponies brought from the top of the world. The little horses made the lives of their handlers miserable during the initial stages of two attempts on the South Pole, yet endeared themselves so much that the men shared their own precious rations with them. The names of the men of these expeditions are well-known - Scott, Shackleton, Mawson, Cherry-Garrard, Ponting, Wilson, Bowers, Oates - but few know the names of the ponies, or even that there ever were Manchurian and Siberian ponies in Antarctica.
ISBN 1590482514, £12.00

With outside temperatures hovering at minus fifty degrees, the men used candles to keep the ink from freezing on the simple printing press brought from England. Shackleton was the first person ever to use ponies in Antarctica.

Robert Scott: Scott's Last Expedition
A world of words has been written about this stirring book. For how many tomes were penned at the cost of the author’s life?

This is the expedition diary of Captain Robert Scott, the fabled British explorer who lost his life in 1912 while attempting to reach the South Pole, and on these pages is the tremendous story of how he set out to lead a tiny team of men towards a dangerous geographical mystery. Scott, too, used Manchurian ponies on his ill-fated expedition.

Gill Suttle: Between the Desert and the Deep Blue Sea
A passion for Arab horses and a long acquaintance with Syria inspired the author to travel on horseback into the backwoods of this fascinating land in 1998. The author enjoyed a relaxed, spontaneous ramble, living out of home-made saddlebags, enjoying the hospitality of local people and often sleeping rough. Best of all, her companion was that of her wildest childhood fantasies: an Arab stallion. While briefly informed by history, Islam and its offshoots, geography and - where absolutely unavoidable - politics, this delightful book is principally an account of the people of Syria - and of a gallant and memorable horse.
