Tschiffely's Ride: Southern Cross to Pole Star

The true story of the most famous equestrian journey of the 20th Century -- "Tschiffely's Ride" is the thrilling account of thirty months spent in the saddle where danger and excitement were a daily occurrence.

In 1925 Aime Tschiffely, a Swiss teacher living in Argentina, set out on his epic ride with two Criollo horses, Mancha and Gato. The amateur explorer's goal was to travel 10,000 miles from Buenos Aires to Washington DC over some of the world's most inhospitable country. Their odyssey lasted two and a half years, forced horses and rider to survive through near-impossible conditions, and ended with a hero's welcome at the White House.

The publication of "Tschiffely's Ride" changed the course of equestrian travel history forever and inspired three generations to take to the saddle in search of adventure! The only word that does justice to this book is "classic."
