There are around 400 different horse breeds in the world and Alyssa Mathews wants to ride them all! An Equestrian Adventuress from a young age on, she fascinated by different riding styles, breeds and types of horses. Finally, a couple of years ago, she started her quest Discover the Horse and travels through the USA and to other countries to ride and learn more about the breed, documenting her journey in her blog and on YouTube. Talking with Alyssa, made me yearn to travel again and discover all the different horse breeds and horse cultures of the world.
