Ever since her first long-distance ride in 2014, when she discovered how difficult it was to find comprehensive information to help her plan and execute her journey, Gillian has been committed to sharing what she has learned with others. While her personal focus has been on completing thru-rides of wilderness trails, Gillian understands that most people are mainly interested in being able to enjoy camping overnight in backcountry areas with their horse or mule . . . and maybe few friends, too. So, whether you are just beginning to explore equestrian camping, or making ambitious goals for long-distance travel, Gillian can help you gain the knowledge and skills you need to reach your goals.
Are you interested in learning how to camp with your equine in the backcountry? Want to know everything that’s involved in planning and executing a successful long-distance trail ride? Then check out Gillian’s handbooks on these topics, designed to be comprehensive and affordable guides based on her experiences.
Let Gillian share what she has learned with you in a fun and informative workshop setting. Bring your horse for a weekend at a Central Coast equestrian campground, where you will explore topics such as gear, trip planning, stock containment, navigation, nutrition, and so much more. Daily trail rides and hands-on demonstrations and practice. A great way to get prepared to make your own backcountry horse travel dreams come true.
If you’d like some personalized advice about long-distance riding or backcountry camping, you can arrange an individual consultation session. Gillian can also help you with planning a trip, from suggesting a location and trail, to being sure you know about permits and regulations, to providing a daily itinerary with potential campsites.
