Pack Horses and Donkey for Wilderness Trails Like An Old-Time Pro

Unabridged from the original source, this Legacy Edition features beautiful sketches of wilderness trail travel and pack animal technique, taking the reader to the expansive wilds to which only horse or donkey can take you.
The US Forest Service Manual on Wilderness Horse Travel is a richly illustrated book which is part artistic celebration of equestrian sport, part instruction manual for travelling with pack animals in the wilderness. Originally published by the USDA and US Forest Service, the manual is richly illustrated with line art reflecting the great wilds of America and the rich horseback tradition of frontier life. Sprinkled throughout the book are tips for making the most out of life on the wilderness trail with your horse or donkey, and for making your camp on the trail truly a home away from home.
This book makes a perfect gift for horseback riding enthusiasts, those who prefer to take equestrian trails in the wilderness, backpackers, campers, hunters, hikers, bushcrafters, outdoorsmen, scouts, scout leaders, and really anyone who enjoys the forest and the open air
