Subject: On the trail again...

*Outfitters Supply*
*Essential Gear for the Trail...* Just like you, we enjoy escaping to the
back-country with our horses and mules. We have field tested and regularly
use the equipment that we offer here and we routinely introduce new
products to better meet the needs of trail riders, packers, horse campers,
and outfitters.
*Our Favorite (and Lovably Crazy) Lady Long Rider is on the Trail Again!*
Russ hauled Bernice and her two Norwegian Fjord horses, Essie Pearl and
Montana Spirit, from Columbia Falls, Montana over Logan's Pass to East
Glacier early last month. Since then, she's been heading east on her new
adventure. You can see what she's using for gear below.
This latest trip will take her at least two, and possibly two and a half
years, and will cover around 8,000 miles of trails and roads in the
northern US and southern Canada. Bernice will not be sticking to a set
course as her route changes according to weather, traffic, horse health,
and trail conditions. However, the plan is to arrive in Maine before winter
sets in. Once at the Atlantic Ocean, she will hunker down for the worst of
the winter weather and then head northwest. Her return journey will take
her through Canada to the Pacific Ocean near Vancouver, then back home
through Washington and northern Idaho to Trego, Montana.
This year she has decided to leave Claire Dog home with friends, as she's
just getting a bit too old to travel, even though she rides far more than
she walks. We'll see if Bernice makes it through even a few months without
finding another sweet puppy in need of rescue! In the past month and a
half, Bernice and her girls have walked through lots of rain and wind to
North Dakota, about 650 miles. All three seem to be in high spirits,
feeling good, and are enjoying watching all of ground green up in front of
their eyes.
*Follow Bernice's travels as she has time to upload to her website:

features
a cut-out skirt design for close, comfortable leg contact. The 5" cantle
and wide swell provide plenty of security. As with all Tucker saddles, the
patented Gel-Cush shock absorbing seat provides outstanding comfort that
does not break down over time (9,000 miles plus!!!)

. She generally will fill them with food, water, a camera, personal
protection, and extra clothing layers. Maybe someday soon one side of the
pommel bags will have a rescue puppy sitting in it, enjoying the view?
Bernice isn't completely ruling it out...

was just the ticket. Her pack saddle has well over 10,000 miles on it, and
is still going strong! We use premium Hermann Oak Harness leather and
stainless steel hardware for all of the straps.

could not be happier with the new panniers! I feel like a woman with new
suitcases. They are fantastic. I've already had several comments on how
nice they look." -Bernice *
This year Bernice is traveling with the new TrailMax Iron Cloth pack
panniers

anniers-Pair%2Fproductinfo%2FWPA136%2F>.
They're easy to keep clean and incredibly durable: the material won't fray,
rot or rip. They are reinforced on every stress point, and should make the
8,000 mile journey with very few repairs, if any are needed at all.
