Many thanks go out to all those who advised, assisted and hosted us on our epic journey (so many that we can't list them all for fear of missing someone out), we really appreciate all you have done for us, and how your kindness and generosity enabled us to see some wonderful sights and make some great new friends along our journey!

Don't forget you can read copies of my weekly newspaper column from the Virginia Culpeper-Star Exponent - see "My Articles" for more info - it's a great way to look back on some of our experiences and keep up to date with what's now happening in our lives.

Thank you for visiting our site and we hope you enjoy it enough to want to come back to us time and time again. See and experience some of what we discovered on our ride around America, and remember, we're just ordinary folk, who did something a little out of the ordinary, for some worthwhile equine causes!

David & Anita

"People believe that true harmony with a horse is something magical. When actually, it is so simple, they pass right by it. Through practice of proper techniques, anyone can learn the language of 'Practical Horsemanship'."

For the best in Trailer advice we recommend you talk to Donna & Rob Martin of Blue Ridge Trailer Sales & Service, Ruckersville, VA. No hard sell, just good, solid advice based on years of practice in the industry. Friendly customer service and excellent after care too! We bought our Dream Coach trailer through them and have never looked back!

It's nice to know that we can have an effect (however small), and that somewhere down the line at least one or two lives are touched (for the better) by our exploits. Below is a poem sent to one of our friends which certainly 'touched' us, and many thanks to it's author June Marshall whom we have never met ...... as yet, but would love to one day soon.

Horsing Around:

Horsing around the USA, for charities they ride,
Earning donations for others, the horses won't be denied.
Computer programmers the pair, who would have guessed,
They've taken on a big chore, but I'd say they are blessed.

A magnificent trailer, carries their horses and tack,
For David and Anita, it's not courage they lack.
By June 22nd, they'd ridden in fourteen States,
Thirty-six to go, they are unbelievable mates.

Horse camps, ranches and friends are there,
To settle down for the evening, and travels to share.
What an awesome task, they've taken on,
Today they might be here, and tomorrow they move on.

Take what you will in life, but give what you can,
It's adventures such as these, that are the measure of man.
To take on a task, so that others can survive,
These two buckaroos have nothing but drive.
