I feel completely lost when I don’t have a belt on when riding.  For me, I’m in love with these Argentinean gaucho belts. I discovered them when I first visited South America over ten years ago now and my original belt is still going strong. I now have a hefty collection of these gaucho belts in black […]

Hold onto your hats globetrotters! I’m so, so excited about this particular Fashion Friday recommendation. I’m a huge lover of hats and have a mighty collection that I’ve collected all over the world. My go-to Akubra has recently become too small for my head, go figure right? We’ve shared some wonderful adventures together but it’s […]

Universal travel adapters are nifty little gadgets that are a must-have for any globetrotter who has caught the travel bug and is jet-setting between time zones on a regular basis. From Kenya to Argentina to Japan, you’ll need a different power adapter for each country. For the savvy frequent flyers you’ll know all about this […]

Half-chaps are an essential item for any riding holiday if you wish to stay comfortable in the saddle and avoid blisters from pinching stirrup leathers. The benefit of half chaps compared to packing long boots is they are light and easy to travel when you’re travelling internationally. You can zip them off at lunch break and you […]

A poignant quote to start your Monday morning, globetrotters. The world of travelling is forever enriching and challenging me. And you? I’m curious to know about your ‘a-ha’ moments while wandering the world. This image was taken on our 19-day Khovsgol ride in Mongolia at the rural Naadam Festivities.

LITTLE BLACK VEST A stylish, well-designed black (or any other colour that tickles your fancy) vest is my must-have item when packing for a horse riding holiday no matter the destination. For the cooler climate rides the vest is perfect for layering with thermals underneath and a heavier jacket on top. And on the flip side […]

  This quote, I couldn’t say it better myself. For those of us who have discovered the love, power and beauty of horses, aren’t we fortunate? These gentle, intuitive creatures give us the taste of freedom every time we jump on their backs. For that I’m truly grateful. Have a wonderful week globetrotters.  

As you plan your trip to see Tasmania on horseback, you’ll find yourself facing the decision to fly or sail to the island. While flying is a faster way to travel, there are plenty of reasons to extend your outdoor adventure by opting to sail aboard Spirit of Tasmania instead. Bring All of Your Luggage […]

Many globetrotters, including us Aussies, aren’t familiar with the art of tipping and generally get quite lost at working out the right amount to tip without offending. Each of our horse riding holidays and safaris is different from the next in terms of whether tipping is expected, and how much. With that said, I’ve put […]

As soon as I clapped eyes on this sparky-eyed pony with her prosthetic leg, I needed to know her story. Meet Molly, she’s a grey speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana. She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals […]

This quote in essence sums up a lot of my globetrotters. They work while looking forward to the next horse riding adventure and holiday. This image was captured by Buster on the 19-day Khovsgol ride in Mongolia. I love the contrast of the double-humped camels, which you would normally associate with warmer weather, backdropped by […]

For globetrotters who have a sense of humour and a desire to explore unchartered territory from a stout Mongol pony, a riding adventure in Mongolia ticks all the boxes, five boxes in fact. And here they are: Culture  As soon as you enter Mongolia whether its via plane or on the Trans-Siberian railway through the Gobi Desert […]

Buster took this image of me on our 19-day horse riding trek in the northern region of Mongolia. Hand on heart, I’ve had the dreamers disease ever since I can remember and I hope to pass it onto everyone I’m in contact with, including my gorgeous girls.

Travel insurance is compulsory on all Globetrotting rides, regardless of whether you’re travelling within your home country or abroad. It’s absolutely imperative to be covered by travel insurance so that you have a safety net in case unexpected circumstances arise. Travel insurance can cover you for financial losses caused by a wide range of events […]

I would like to introduce you to Raglan – as voted by National Geographic as one of the world’s best surf towns. We’ve rented a rustic, sagging at the bones beach cottage perched on the North Island of New Zealand overlooking Whale Bay, a 15-minute drive from Raglan. There is a huge surf culture oozing […]

The first time I discovered Angus Barrett Saddlery was at the Warwick camp draft where we both had trade stands. His leatherwork is a breath of fresh air in a market that is saturated with poor quality, imported tack. Angus takes great pride in his work to the point of being fastidious. His leather is sourced at […]

So I officially started maternity leave as of Monday this week from salt magazine – my other business that I run with my father. Come to think of it, I haven’t talked about it much on this here blog space. No particular reason really, I started the lifestyle magazine which is based on the sublime […]
