Visas, veterinary restrictions at borders, and the coming winter with its -40 Celsius death sentence created a ton of issues for Luisa and Pete right from the beginning of their journey. Luisa had almost overstayed in Mongolia, and Pete was unable to get much more than a few days to cross Russia; so the dream of an uninterrupted ride to Scotland on Mongolian horses was soon dealt a death blow. They opted instead to hitch across Mongolia - an adventure in itself - before crossing Russia and beginning to ride south west from Pavlodar in north eastern Kazakhstan. Luisa, Pete, and Jill covered over 15,000 km, 9000 km of which were on horseback, through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Austria and Germany. The entire ride was filmed on an iPhone and can been seen on YouTube by clicking the link on the button below.
