Riding 30 000km across the Americas

Hi everyone, we’re Ben and Olivia, the two adventurers that started an amazing journey to follow our dream to cross the Americas on horseback from the city of Ushuaia, in Argentina to Prudhoe Bay, in Alaska. This travel, which is going to become our way of life for the next 5 years is representing for us a way to test our limits and knowledge, to be able to live our life while traveling and spending every minute of our days with our equine companions.

It is a way of traveling slowly, of learning to listen and to look at the beauty of our world, its nature, landscapes, animals and, of course, cultures that we’ll have the immense chance to be in contact along the way.

While traveling at 5km/h for 25 or 30km a day, we’re hoping to learn a way of living life at a rhythm that gives us the possibility to really enjoy the present, the little moments in life that are making it so amazing to live.

Traveling very slowly is not the only challenge that we are and will encounter during our travels. The need to adjust the distances for us to always have access to water and good feed for the horse at our camp every day is the number one priority. Our mantra is to always do what’s best for the horses in any situation. It might seem obvious, but in a journey like that, challenges to face and decisions to make in the organization are met every step of the way.

Whether it is about traffic, veterinarian appointments, energy level, potential injuries and, of course, the infinite amount of bureaucracy that we need to go through to get across the multiples countries that we’ll meet on our way to our destination, everything we do, we do it so the horses can stay healthy and safe.

Without our horses, there is no journey across the Americas.

That is why we ask for your help to care for the wellbeing and safety of our horses along the way, to give us a hand and be part of this amazing trip that is going to be our way of life for the next couple years. The amount of the contributions are going to go towards the horses needs and care.

The amount that we decided to raise is symbolic to the number of kilometres that we plan to ride and walk from the southernmost city of the world, Ushuaia, Argentina, to the shores of the Arctic Ocean in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. One kilometre at the time we're getting closer to our objective!

Here are the details of what we need for the horses to be able to stay in shape and keep going as far as possible towards our goal!

The money raised with our GoFundMe will help us cover the fees of:

Come along, immerse yourself and share our journey with us, get to know us, the horses and the amazing people that we meet along the way on our social media as we share and hopefully inspire others to follow their dreams.
