Slowing down, experiencing your surroundings, and making meaningful connections are some of the main reasons why people choose to travel, all of which are amplified when journeying long distances on horseback. Episode 79 of the 10Adventures Podcast follows Louis Hall and his equine companion Shasha, as they continue along their nearly 3000km journey from Siena, Italy to Finisterre, Spain.

In support of his charity organization, The Big Hoof, Hall has been traversing the bridleways and trekking paths of Europe on horseback since March 24, 2022, connecting to the landscape and experiencing an ancient way of travel in the process. Tune in to hear Louis and host Richard Campbell discuss the difficulties of undertaking such an unorthodox journey in the modern age, and how the kindness of strangers along the trail and the unbreakable bond with his trusty steed Sasha have helped strengthen his worldview.
