**“**Ask anyone to name the most inspirational equestrian travel book ever written and they will respond, Tschiffely’s Ride” (The Long Riders’ Guild).

From the southeast coast of South America through an expanse of Peruvian sands en route to the West Coast, then onward through Central American jungles and rainforest, and finally to New York, Tschiffely’s journey was considered impossible and absurd by many newspaper writers in 1925. However, after two and a half years on horseback with two of his trusty and tough steeds, this daring trekker lived to tell his bestselling tale.

Tschiffely’s ten thousand–mile journey was filled with adventure and triumph, but it also forced the traveler to deal with tremendous natural and man-made obstacles, as many countries in Central America were war-torn. In addition to the remarkable details of his travel expedition, Tschiffely’s relationship with his horses, Mancha and Gato, is perhaps the most endearing element of the book, and his photos of the people and places he encountered make Tschiffely’s Ride the perfect travel companion for adventure enthusiasts.

“It may be that this is the greatest animal story ever written.” —Current Literature

“The word ‘classic’ is not lightly to be thrown about. But if this doesn’t become one, the spirit of the race must be waning.” —Sir John Squires, The Daily Telegraph
