Ride of Passage is a summer series from Stateside, chronicling one Michigander's solo horseback ride across America. In 2003, Matt Parker was out of college and adrift. He decided to do something big... ride across the country on horseback. The only problem was he had never really ridden a horse before. 

You can listen to the first three episodes of Ride of Passage, and subscribe for updated episodes throughout the summer.
