Courses, Coaching and Events.
One on one, no “BS” chats.
One of the greatest challenges anyone new too long riding faces, will be learning to seperate “cool stories” from actually useful information. Many people will offer you advice, and many “self proclaimed experts” advised us and many of our closest friends prior to setting off. But this often second hand, or outdated information caused us and those in similar situations many unnecessary failures that could have easily been avoided by a bit first hand knowledge and advice.
We have as many as 10 folks a week wanting a free consultation as they plan a trip, and we simply cannot just keep doing this for free. We will happily schedule a chat online or over the phone, but we charge 50€ and please keep emails short, it takes a lot of time to read life stories.
Upcoming Events.
The Fourth Annual Longrider Weekend.
24 - 26 July 2026
Held at… Kleinried 30
94239 Zachenberg. Germany.
It is the responsibility of ALL horsemen to protect and grow our sport ethically. As a result we wish to create an affordable, welcoming, and inclusive environment for horsemen regardless of gender, age, or experience; to discuss and refine their skills as long riders, or those that have all the passion but are yet to experience a long ride.
What to expect…
We encourage connecting with others, with nature, and with our equines; and as a result will not be allowing people to stay indoors, and “wherever practical” encourage all participants to remain barefoot. We encourage people not to bring any processed foods or beverages onto the property “but understand if you need a Red Bull to function”, and will be cooking ethically sourced wild meats and organic vegetables with the fire to encourage a sense of community and conection with nature throughout the weekend. “Vegan options will be available at each meal”.
The cost is 50€ per person per day and includes beer, wine, all meals and snacks, a camping spot, and free paddocks for your horses if you choose to bring them.
BPLC Barnwear will be available for sale on the day, as will BPLC saddles, skins, girth making materials, and books. The amazing and totally gangster Anja who is responsible for the BPLC Barnwear merch will also have her TATTOO GUN with her! Although an amazing artist, tattoos are new for her and if you want some ink done form an orderly line behind me and Luisa for a tattoo by a future legend for a very reasonable price!
If you would like to bring your horse at no additional cost, we need to hear from you beforehand and you may arrive earlier “by negotiation.”
Coaching & Courses.
We encourage everyone to “ride their own ride”. But there are some unavoidable realities and universal truths applicable to all longer rides that sadly we all too often learned through our failures. We were often naïve, over confident, and almost always poorly equiped and prepared despite Pete’s lifetime of experience in the military, as a professional hunter, and outdoorsman. We learnt first hand that the online experts are for the most part anything but, and it was the hard lessons on the steppe as well as its even harder inhabitants that taught us the most valuable lessons during our travels. If you don’t know where to start, or are afraid to take the next step… get in contact with us.

One on one coaching.
There is a LOT involved in a successful long ride and far to many coaches have either never done one, or not traveled far enough to fail. To many people paint the “insta perfect” view of life on the road and the truth is it can be brutal, freezing, stressful and down right dangerous. with literally thousands of nights sleeping rough across nearly 50 countries between us, often in either a hostile environment or with a horse by our sides, we are prepared to answer the questions others simply wont touch.
One on one coaching is a tough thing to put a price on, and we try to help everyone within their budgets rather than set a one size fits all price. Get in touch, and lets talk about how we can help you succeed where we failed.

COMING SOON…
Luisa and Pete are currently filming and editing a bunch of short, affordable videos customers can sort of “pick and choose from”. We hope to have these live in the coming weeks.
