Over the centuries, horses have been crucial to shepherds, providing them with a means of transporting wool and cheese across the mountains’ many undrivable parts, and finally from the Tusheti highlands to the lowlands at the end of the summer. In Tusheti, a decline in shepherding would mean fewer horses — and that could spell the end of the transhumance.
If you have ever rounded up and driven horses in miles of open country, you know it’s not just a ride! Driving horses 50 km a day through the greater Caucasus Mountains and over the 3000-m high pass is a real adventure! It’s possibly the most exciting thing you have ever done on horseback. It can be hot and it can be cold, it can be wet or dry or dusty, it can be fast and then slow, it can be challenging yet relaxing. It’s a horse drive and anything can happen because it’s the real thing! We invite you to participate in driving approximately 60 horses through 250 kilometres of open country. You will ride in an area of natural beauty, from the the semi-desert are to the mountains.
