Chapter 2: Setting Out

In order to ride horseback across the country, Matt would need a horse and a trail. The problem is there were no modern trails that were tested all the way across on horseback. And there were few modern examples of what kind of horse would be good for a 5,000-mile ride.

Ride of Passage is a limited series podcast about one young man's solo ride across the country on horseback. Produced by Laura Weber Davis. Subscribe now.
