Ep. 1097: Jesse McNeal - Riding a Horse Across America Revisited

Horseback riding across America: Jesse McNeil's 3,800-mile journey from Oregon to New Hampshire with his horse Pepper – grit, challenges, patience, companionship, life-changing lessons, and the true story behind his memoir On the Hoof.

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Jesse McNeil, adventurer and author of On the Hoof, to dive into his incredible 3,800-mile journey across the United States on horseback. Jesse shares the highs and lows of traveling with his horse, Pepper, and the life-changing lessons he learned along the way. From rugged trails to heartwarming encounters, this episode explores the grit, heart, and soul behind his memoir, the true tale of a voyage that broke a man down and built him back up, with the help of one special horse. At 36 Jesse McNeil — at times carpenter, commercial fisherman, dabbler in real estate — decided to buy an untrained horse, make himself into a horseman, and ride all the way across the United States, from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. A fiercely independent traveler, Jesse had navigated previous coast-to-coast trips — solo journeys by moped, bicycle, and small airplane. This time, however, he had a partner: a five-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse named Pepper. An inexperienced horseman with an equally inexperienced mount, Jesse would quickly discover the immense challenges of his new undertaking. Over the course of eight months and fourteen states — beginning in Oregon and ending on a beach in New Hampshire — he would be tested many times over as he learned not only what it took to keep Pepper safe and healthy, but the true value of qualities that he had once easily dismissed: patience and companionship.
