The true tale of a voyage that broke a man down and built him back
up, with the help of one special horse. At 37 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. The
generosity of strangers, from helpful ranchers and storekeepers to
suburban families, shaped the pair's journey east. And while at
some points the miles didn't unfold as Jesse hoped, others yielded
unexpected events that changed his perspective - and quite
possibly, his future. Written with honesty, grit, and grace, On the
Hoof captures an arduous voyage that broke a man down and built him
back up, with the help of one special horse.
