The Horseback Honeymoon

After 780 days travelling from Mongolia to Germany on horseback, Luísa Mayr and her partner Pete Breidahl arrived in Memmingen Bavaria in October of 2021.  Pete immediately proposed, and they spent a long winter preparing for both a wedding, and another long ride on their horses Marengo and Smokey.

Long riding is hard, and no matter how hard you try to prepare for the unforeseen, it can still all fall apart overnight. And… it did. But a wild and free life on the road with a pair of horses and a crazy dog are worth all the struggles when magic moments present in Europe's hidden wilderness.  Nights without light pollution on mountain tops, the hospitality and warmth of strangers, encounters with wolves and a chance to fall in love with each other every single day of our journey; we had these and more on our horseback honeymoon in the European Alps.

The Horseback Honeymoon is an honest reflection on both failure, and success during a 4 month, 2,500km journey through 5 countries.  The only thing needed for a marriage to succeed, is to fall in love with the same person over and over again. We did just that.
