Wagon Travelers

www.slow-express-journey.com is the website for my very good friends, John and Thea Verhoeckx.  They are a Dutch couple who have spent the last year and a half traveling around Europe in a Caravan, pulled by two Haflinger mares.  This is a very good site and very interesting story. I highly recommend their E-Book, available on the site.  Lately John and Thea had a bad wreck with their wagon in the Chezch Republic.  John is getting surgery on his ankle and Thea is salvaging what she can from the caravan.  It won’t be long before this dynamic couple bounce back - better then before.

www.leehorselogger.com Lee (the horselogger) is a long time wagon traveler in the United States.  The site is very good and chronicles Lee’s travels from Montana to Boston in 2006/2007, and his current travels to California. Lee’s wagon is pulled by three Suffolk Punch horses. As of 10/31/08, Lee is off the road for the winter and logging in Wyoming.

www.traceur.co.uk Beginning in the 1990’s David Grant and his family completed the only recorded circumnavigation of the world by horse and wagon. His tale is told in his book “The Seven Year Hitch”.

www.thelongridersguild.com describes and has links to several other wagon travellers.

www.ruralheritage.com Very good online resource for draft horses and draft horse farming. This site has a very good Link page to draft horse related websites.
