After nearly nine years of
round the clock labour, the Long Riders' Guild, Long Riders' Guild Press
and Long Riders' Guild Academic Foundation are functioning smoothly and are
stronger than ever - thanks to your collective effort and support.
Thus, with those vital issues under
control, Basha and I have of late devoted ourselves to organizing our own
delayed equestrian journey around the globe. To mark the beginning of this new
effort, earlier today we launched the new World Ride website - http://www.theworldride.org/
Here is a
link to this
unprecedented international equestrian news effort -
If it is true that the age of national
exploration is now past, the World Ride will demonstrate that we are witnessing
the dawning of the age of the citizen-explorer, an enlightened era wherein
individuals set out not to exploit the natural resources of their neighbours,
nor to plant the flag of their country of origin atop a mighty peak in another
land, but rather to explore the frontiers of this planet and our own
souls.
Ultimately, the World Ride is
designed to link humans and horses via the saddle and the internet, with the
goal being to demonstrate that all humans share a common mother-tongue, "horse."
That is why this is a journey about courage, not records. It is also why we
writing to invite you to explore the new website, to follow Basha and me on our
journey and to participate in this unprecedented equestrian event.
We very much look forward to your
comments and suggestions.
