Round-the-World on Horseback

by Justin Glow (RSS feed) on Jun 14th 2007 at 5:10PM

A lot of people take round-the-world trips: sometimes solo, sometimes by bike, sometimes on a motorcycle, sometimes by foot. Here's one I haven't heard yet: Round-the-world by horse.

"Rodeo Star and Western Reenactor" Ezra Cooley, 27, from Chico, California, and his two horses, Red and pack horse Jahob, are currently making their way across the United States (he's currently near ~~Fort Madison, Iowa~~ Wappingers Falls, NY, it seems), from California to New York. From there, he will board a ship headed for Spain, where he will reunite with Red and Jahob, and ride through Africa, on to Australia, South America, and Mexico before coming home to California.

"This is a pretty big thing I am trying to attempt," he writes in his journal on the day before leaving. Big indeed.

Actually Justin, he was in Wappingers Falls, NY yesterday. There's an article about him in today's local newspaper here. Today, I believe he's in NYC, where he will be getting his flight (with the horse- Big Red) to Spain and beginning his European leg of the tour. He didn't have another horse with him when he passed through here.

Thanks, kath. I was going by his most recent journal entry, which placed him somewhere in Iowa. Good to hear he's a bit further along!

Wow, Ezra. I took a world tour by plane. You will see more!
I am a friend of Rosemary Driscol, your relative.
Be safe and enjoy. What an adventure. You are keeping a diary, aren't you?
My best to you. Jeannie
