we sold everything. 

You’re amazing! Good luck on your new adventure! 🐎

How exciting! Good for you! And please keep creating content. You have inspired a 60 year old empty nester with a heart horse!

How unexpected! I thought it was clickbait! I wondered most of the way through. Wishing you the best adventures and mostly safety and fun!

As a fifty-something subscriber, GOOD FOR YOU for living your dream! I can't wait to see what unfolds for you.

I’m so sad that you had to re-home your animals, especially your cats 💔 But best of wishes on your adventure! I hope it’s every bit as wonderful as you always dreamed it would be. Safe travels, and happy trails ❤️

I met my wife through a horse site fell in love married 17 yrs..we dreamed of moving to Montana with the horses looked at property ...then one morning she told me I dont want to be married anymore. I was stunned...I asked her about the horses she said :sell them: I was in disbelief. Unknown to me at the time she had met someone else and was going to move to FLA. I was left with a farm and horses ..financially I tried to keep it going but I was almost fully broke. I had to sell the horses.....It was 5 yrs ago and I've climbed back up...I dont know what ever happened to my ex...God only knows.... but I do miss my horses the most They both were Appaloosa's and were my best friends..........Life is unpredictable....I wish you the best.

That is amazing! My husband and i took our 3 kids out of school, rented out our house, boarded my horse at a friends, and traveled the US for 6 months in 2023. Best experience ever!! We discovered so many equine friendly places that the next plan is to bring my girl with us😁.

Has anyone seen Jake that's traveled from Utah to east coast and will be heading back soon? He's doing it to show the world the power of the mustang to encourage people to adopt or buy. Just him and his mustangs, no camper, no vehicle, no crew. Mainly strangers have offered places to stay and meals across the country. Amazing!

As someone who only dreams of something like this and someone who has gone on a fair few camping trips with her pony I wish you the absolute best of times. Take photographs take videos and enjoy every single moment of this incredible lifetime journey. Xxxxx

Hi I am a canadian 71 yrs of age woman who has been following for at least 3 yrs since I found you. I'm super excited for you all. Although I'm sad that maybe you won't post much on your journey. I hope and pray you all will be safe on your new adventure. Enjoy and the best to you all. I will becwaiting for your posts....hopefully

Go for it!!! In the early 90s, right after I graduated High School in OH where I was born, I decided to move to Alaska. My dream was to ride my one horse, and pony another the entire way. My dad had challenged me and told me that if I decided to do it, he would pay for all the expenses of getting there plus a moving van to deliver all my belongings. Long story short, I decided not to do it, because I just couldn’t see how I would get it done in a timely manner, and I was quitting one job to leave, but didn’t have a source of income lined up once I got there. Since then, I left AK for a time. I traveled from AK to AZ, CA, UT, MT and WY and worked at dude ranches with the horses. I had one horse that was born while I was in High School and he went with me for the entire adventure. I eventually settled down back in AK and raised a family in the backcountry with a man I met who was a registered guide. We had up to 28 horses for pack trips when our children were small. In 2006, we lost the ability to take non resident moose hunters in the area where we had our lodge, so we ended up selling off or slowly losing all the horses to old age over the next 10 or so years; except my one special guy. I eventually had my final “ride” in the sunset on a beautiful October evening in 2021, at the ripe age of 32 with my heart horse. I still have 4 other horses that I phased in and I’ve started under saddle. I use them for horseback riding instruction, at a local barn. Now that my children are grown and starting their own families, I throw out the idea to my husband just about every spring that we should do exactly what you are doing. I am a certified trail guide and riding instructor, and even at the age of 52, I still have a dream to continue to travel around and work at dude ranches, church camps etc. My husband is also a carpenter as well as a guide, so it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find work while we were traveling, but he just can’t see the vision quite yet. I admire you for doing your adventure. Once you both decide to have children, often the time and energy it takes to raise a family for another 20 years (I homeschooled for 21 years) can put dreams and passions on hold for the benefit of the entire family. Few people I’ve met have the memory bank of adventures I can recall. You will also be doing the same; both awesome and challenging ones. And you will learn so much about yourself along the way that will make you both much better parents. I wish you all the best!!’

Wow! How exciting! Trailmeister is a great resource for trails, camping with horses in every state. US Rider is a good insurance to have as they will tow truck, trailer and horses, locksmith, fuel, jump starts, tires. They also have list of emergency vets and stables nationwide. The caveat is if you're in BFE where there are 50 people in 200 miles, it might take awhile. Get a trailer aid to change flats on truck/trailer without a jack or unloading. Impact wrench, air compressor, starter/charger.

I'm so proud of you!!! No matter what happens, it's gonna be worth it!

It’s kind of amazing if you come through Missouri come and stay for a few days we my husband and I have lots of room for your horses and your dog 😂no charge.we have 3 horses

You are inspiring! And you are nurturing my horse dreams by seeing you live yours

Dreams are never too big...and all is possible with God. Praying for your new journey!!

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I just turned 60 and realized a dream I've had as long as I can remember, getting a horse. It's never, ever too late to fulfill your dreams. If you're ever in Rhode Island come see us, and our new horses!

So cool! Also, I love your film style, enchanting and whimsical yet also with a rooted and realistic tone.

I’m one of your earliest suscribers and cannot believe it 🙏🏼 So glad for you both! Better doing it now than later. Trust your path ❤️☺️☀️

This sounds awesome!! I’m so glad that you can do this! My husband and I want to travel with our horses one day too. Now I can watch you all and hopefully learn a couple things. Love this. Be safe ❤

Oh yes, when you get those pulls, they are just the thing that has to be done. Dreaming like that can be lonely and no on else will care about the dream like you do but I have found when I follow those big deep inner pulls to go after and do something, it seems to also end up benefitting others in some way as well. Also, you hear it all, the naysaying, the doubters the people who are stuck themselves and for whatever reason can't or won't imagine differently. But the dream is life's art, saying create me, I need to be breathed into the world. We sold everything, took the fam and moved over an ocean in suitcases and it was liberating like nothing else. And it opened up all sorts of other things to dream, be pulled toward and do. Amazing! hope you smash it.

Way to go! Living the dream you always wanted is awesome, so glad your husband is willing to live that dream with you. Have fun, see a lot of beautiful sites and be safe!

Praying for your great adventure!! Blessings!!

Wow! I look forward to watching you in the next phase! Good for you, you only live once!

Hell yeah!! That's freaking awesome!!! Good for you, for living out your dreams!!! Best of luck!

Congratulations on embarking on your dream! I dreamed of travel adventures before starting my family, and I made those dreams come true. After having three children and soaking up all the joy of being at home raising babies and toddlers, I dreamed of traveling through Italy (where my ancestors are from) with my kids - and I’ve done it - twice! Live your dream now, but always remember that in the next season of life you can dream another dream! You’re never too old to keep dreaming! Go for it! Safe travels!

WOW!! My dad has had this dream, he did lot of it - you're amazing! So inspiring

Carmella, you and Colin are such awesome people. You deserve this. Have fun!❤❤❤

Wow, what a change. I am really hoping this adventure goes well and like you hope for. Looking forward to hearing your stories and experiences.

WOW!!! Good luck guys. Warmest wishes for you, and the horses and the dog.

OH MY GOD I WANT TO SCREAM OF JOY FOR YOU! THIS IS MY DREAM TOO! WOW I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

Wow, what a bold plan...all the best!

Congratulations for taking the opportunity to live your dream. As you said, there is a society of people who are also living the same dream & You will be supported. I'm so happy for you.

Wow, that's incredible! I have only recently started to watch your videos and I am so glad I came right on time to follow along when you make your life's dream a reality. Cheering you on all the way! 🙌

That sounds awesome Carmela, can't wait to see what you 4 get up to!

Wow.. May God bless you on your journey with the most fun & safest travels!

I did something similar when I turned 40. Much of it was extremely hard, but the things i learned and the amazing experiences were worth it all. Did another huge risky move, giving up everything except what I could fit into suitcases at 68 and its been absolutely wonderful. Wishing you the best and will be jealously following your story.

Congratulations to your newest adventure ♡ This idea was once mine as well... but in my late 60 's now... even if it's still on my bucket list, most likely won't happen (but maybe♡) If you're ever passing through central Kentucky- you're welcome to stop by and rest a spell. Thanks for sharing this chapter of your LIFE! Enjoy your journey & stay safe in your travels 🙏

Congratulations! I hope your adventure is a grand one!

Wow! That sounds so much fun! Going to miss the barn, was really looking forward to rebuilding the barn but I'm so happy for you guys!❤❤

Good luck! Looking forward to watching even more interesting and great videos.

You guys are going to have an absolute *blast*! I travel a lot, and have traveled cross country 3x by car of course (not horse), but its' going to be the best experience! Have fun, bring us along, enjoy the time together!

May the Lord bless and keep you on your journey. Make Him a part of it as you go. 🙏✝️💕

Good luck

Congratulations!!! I've always thought about doing this too, it sounds like an amazing adventure. Blessings to you guys on this journey!!! ❤

So inspiring! Way to follow the dream!! It's going to be amazing to watch! And YES do it before kids! LOL

My young daughter has learned so much from you! This video made me tear up, YAY for dreams and adventures. We live in a tiny town with an RV park/horse hotel and gorgeous trails to boot. We’re in the Big Horn mountains in Ten Sleep, WY! We would LOVE to meet you! ❤

This sounds so cool, you seem happy. I’m happy for you 5 !❤

This is great, I'm so happy for all of you. It sounds like an exciting adventure, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about how it works out for you. ❤

Good for you ALL! I look forward to seeing your adventures! Enjoy and be safe xx

😮😮😮 I'm so surprised and so envious! Good for you! Can't wait to see your adventures!

I hope your horses are physically able to do this for you. It takes years of prep for most horses to get in condition for going long distance excursions almost daily. It not like 'in the movies'.

That's awesome. I read a book about a lady who did something similar, by herself. She didn't make it across the country for family reasons but it was cool reading her story.

I’m so excited for you guys!!! Be blessed and enjoy God’s beautiful country along the way. And I’m thrilled Tucker gets to do it with you!! -Barbara

Yes girl! Yes yes yes. So happy for you both! Let's live life, while we can ❤

LOVE IT! Good on you both for following your dreams! A great example for everyone to follow. ❤ (P.S. We have lots of horse trails and two are in riding distance from my farm here in Live Oak!)

Sounds like a grand adventure! 👏

I’m so excited and happy for you ALL!!! Enjoy this and adventure!! Keep us updated!! ❤️

Good for you guys! I will be following ❤ what a unique and wonderful experience you will have 🎉❤

Haha I thought it was click bate as well!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Can’t wait to watch it all! I’ve always dreamt of going camping with my horses-next level. Love it ❤🙏🦋

Hi I’m bored just fancied learning about horses. Found your channel and watched one of the videos. I had a look at the playlist and found this! At first I was confused thinking this lady seemed all for her horses, and now she’s sold everything? What a lovely twist to the tale, you’re going on the adventure of a lifetime! Wishing you all every happiness ❤

Oh I'm so happy that your living your dream! Have fun!

Very inspiring. Good luck. 🍀

Come down to miles city montana. You can park your horse trailer with living quarters at the fairgrounds here.

Go girl!! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to see your journey!!

Dream big, dream hard, because dreams come true. I’m always excited when people get a chance to follow their dreams. Congrats! By the way, I had no idea that you are in VA. Me too! Have a wonderful journey. 🎉🎉🎉

Wow and awesome!!! Follow that dream and if you need a place for horses and yourselves you are more than welcome to rest here in Fort Collins, CO!! God Bless you both and your furry family! Paula

What an adventure ☺️ hope you have the most amazing time !!

Best of luck on your new adventure!!!

Shocking and exiting news Carmella 🥳🥳🥳. We live only once!!! Best of luck. I'll follow along. Cheers from Silvana from South America Uruguay 🇺🇾

I’m SO excited to “go along” with you on this new adventure!

There also is a place in Missouri it’s called North Fork it’s a horse campground they do have stalls and trail to ride is really nice I think u all will love it or you all can go to Eminence it is very beautiful and has endless trails.

Good luck on the adventure ❤❤❤ looks like fun

Dearest equine helper, I think your dream of riding across the United States is awesome. It was a dream that I had for many years and then my dream expanded, and I dreamed about riding my horse in every state in the United States awesome thing that would be then my wife got sick and she ended up passing away, but all my dreams were dashed in a heartbeat so I will be following your adventure with bated breath and I wish you the best and maybe consider riding your horse in every state. God bless you guys. God bless you your entire family of horses and people.

Wow. Well I think you're crazy to give up your land, but I wish you all the best.

This will be such an amazing adventure and still good for business. If you haven’t thought about it get a portable air compressor with a lug nut attachment and some truck tire Slime. I got a compressor with slime which is great but then found out I physically can loosen the lug nuts on my truck to change a tire. So now I need an air compressor as well to switch out the tires.

When/if you travel through Indiana, I board at a nice property of around 300 acres of riding trails with a creek, campground, fishing pond and more. It would be amazing to have you come visit, even if just for a day or two. We’re always looking for new and exciting adventures and from the sound of it, you’d fit right in. Always looking forward to seeing what you get up to with Collin, Tucker and Ruach. Happy riding! May the trails be plentiful and beautiful and the strangers you meet along the way be kind.

That's a good way to make some content for RU-vid. I hope that this brings you happiness.

Y'all gotta venture up to Alaska 🤠👍and come visit us (me & my horse little man, btw who looks just like Tucker!) anyways come to alaska, kenai peninsula (our town is soldotna...) we have huge horse community here! I've been born and raised Alaskan cowgirl. And if u wanna ride cross country then u definitely must come up here to check out the absolute horse and rider beauty that is trails and exploring this last frontier (aka AK LOL) HUGE FAN. SONETHING TO THINK ABOUT EH? AND WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY MEET YALL. ur dream vision spoke to me in so many ways bcuz I personally have a dream similar to yours... But since I was about 10yrs old (I'm 36now) I have dreamt discussed researched and planned to attempt the challenge or dream of MINE is to find sponsorship locally and ride across the peninsula to anchorage .... Omg I've gone thru old maps new maps my dad is a retired hunting guide so we've definitely discussed possibilities... But to be honest without my dad alongside me, I question my ability to manage the treacherousness. The switchbacks. The truth is just need a push in the confidence and ur story of the dream definitely reinforce my distant dream of crossing the kenai peninsula horseback from Homer to anchorage. Of course my dad is still with me on life but damnit if I wish he could still get around like he used to ... I had a real moment of "concern and truth" the day I found myself having to assist saddle my father's horse for him. . Xoxoxo -YOUR FAN & ALASKAN COWGIRL LISA DENALI BETHANY ANDERSON.

I admire you for going after your dream.. Best to you all! Can't wait to see the videoes of your new life on the road! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Wow! I can’t wait to hear about your adventures!

Sounds exciting! I became a nomad a year ago but board my horse in a ranch for retired horses. Maybe I should think about returning to North America, getting a horse trailer with living quarters and doing that too!

Well, that's different kind of news! Good luck you two!! Looking forward to seeing how your journey goes!

How exciting. You only live once. Go for it. Always follow your dreams. You are going to have such an amazing experience. I’m so happy for y’all ❤

Oh my gosh. It sounds like a fabulous adventure. I bet some day you’ll be doing this with your kids too.😊

I’m sooo excited I wish u great luck and god will be with u the way I’m very excited to see your new adventure videos ❤

That’s amazing! If you ever do make it to Indiana there is a state park with a horse area and trails, it’s brown county, southern Indiana

So exciting! Can’t wait to follow your journey. 🙏🏽💕💕💕

So cool to hear your story, we're on the site next to you with the two paint horses!

That's AMAZING! I have been watching your videos for a couple years now, and I love them! I hope you and your husband have fun on your new adventure! 🤍🤍

You have a place for yourselves and the horses in salt lake whenever you get there! We are full-time/part time RVing (with kid and dogs no horses) and rent out our house in salt lake. it’s been my dream to be on the road. We are currently in the Canadian rockies and it’s stunning (be sure to factor in Canada it’s so different to the US rockies!). What’s funny is that now I dream of having a little farm just like yours and of course get my first horse (hence loving your channel!). It’s good to follow dreams as they come and go and change and grow. I think that’s how we live life to its fullest and intentionally. So we will be moving back into our place in salt lake and getting a horse (scariest dream ever!) and trading out our Rv for a horse trailer with LQ (for horsey adventures) and some day I hope we can get more property just like your little farm. It’s all good. Glad you are following your heart!

You are so brave and a true inspiration! Follow your dreams so many people don't and then regret it. Wish you the best!!

This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime! I hope you write a book about it too. And bring a big beautiful blank book for the good people you meet on your journey to write a message - something to show to your children one day ❤ I'm sooo happy for you and look forward to coming along 😊

Sounds like fun! 🎉 Stay online with your adventures.

I'm going to watch all your videos from here on to help support your dream - I'm going to live vicariously through you, so happy for you!!

Congrats! So happy for you!

Oh my God. That is so incredible and I am so happy for you all! ❤ Please take us with you as most of us are in fact stuck in our current situations, at least for now. 🎉

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Have fun and post lots of videos. You will never regret this wonderful adventure!!

It's a personal decision. However it is a risk. I could not do it, though I had similar fantasies throughout life. I just think it would be a little rough on the horses for extended periods. But, happy trails to you!

I wanted to say congrats on your decision to chase your dreams! There will be people that are put in your path to try to discourage you, but ignore them - you will find what matters the most is what you will be getting out of this, not their opinions. If something happens and it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. What matters is the experience you are going to have. We get this one life that we know of - do what makes you happy! There are reasons we have these dreams. Thank you for helping me be a more confident rider, I have enjoyed your videos in the past and will continue to watch you in your future endeavors.
