Kate Pilcher is the founder &amp; guide of Globetrotting, a worldwide travel agency that specialises in horse riding experiences to all corners of the globe. Kate discovered this form of travel as part of a quarter-life crisis and ran away to Argentina and then Kenya to discover herself from the back of a horse. Now in her forties Kate leads globetrotting rides to some extraordinary places with her three daughters and husband in toe.   Kate in her own words:   “I started Globetrotting a bit over a decade ago, thanks to a quarter-life crisis. You see, I had turned 25 and went on a 10-day horse riding safari in the Maasai Mara, Kenya, where my mind was blown by witnessing the wildebeest migration astride a safari horse.    It was THIS crazy, colourful, life-changing experience that led me to step away from my business (Salt magazine), my boyfriend (now husband – thankfully Steven is a very patient man), mortgage and flee to a remote 100,000 acre estancia in Patagonia only accessible via horse.   For the next nine months I jumped from saddle to saddle, driven by an unquenchable thirst to explore horse cultures in South America and Africa. When I finally returned home, Globetrotting took form alongside my business at the time, Salt magazine.   You see, I fell in love with this form of travel – Globetrotting – where the pace is slower and the experience richer. Rather than travelling in a tour bus (conveyor-belt travel, I like to call it), when you’re astride a horse, you climb under the skin of a country, absorbing every nuance it has to offer.   I knew it was the only way for me to travel, and I was determined to share this passion with other horse folk and I have.    This is a true calling for me.”     New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss out.    To find out more about supporting your favourite podcast and becoming a patron please visit www.patreon.com/toughgirlpodcast.      Show notes   Who is Kate What is Globetrotting How they use horse riding to change people's lives A little background about her family Her first and earliest memory of horses Having a little interest in horses back then Never thought of horses as part of her career Having no idea what she wanted to do Working in small businesses alongside her degree How sales and marketing interest her She enjoys marketing and sales Moving to the UK after finishing her degree Returning to Australia and having the chance to ride a horse once again Exploring Maasai Mara in Kenya for 10 days Wanting to get away from everything Feeling that she isn't living the life she was meant to live Rejecting Steven's marriage proposal How Globetrotting started Background on how and why she took the risk of changing careers Wanting to be invited to the world's oldest horseback riding event Being able to open many people's doors through her space Getting more detailed about horse riding Different types of rides and items to carry on the journey Ensuring that each client is well-cared for from start to finish.

Kate Pilcher - Founder & guide of Globetrotting - sharing her passion for horses and exploring horse cultures around the world. 

Modern Pilgrimages: A Conversation with Kate Pilcher of Globetrotting on the pleasures of world-wide adventures on horseback. People of the middle ages would embark on a pilgrimage for many reasons... some spiritual... some more commonplace, looking for a kind of medieval holiday, often in company with their horse. But such an association with the horse on grand adventures is not just a characteristic of the medieval age. It is also very much alive today.

Modern Equestrian Pilgrimages: A Conversation with Kate Pilcher

S3E14 BONUS - Globetrotting with Kate Pilcher

In Episode 12 I speak with Kate pilcher from Globetrotting. Kate is a person who not only loves horses, but loves to travel the world, and after a spiritual crisis in her young adult years, she trekked off around the world riding horses along the way, and  decided to make a living out of her two loves. Hence globetrotting was born.When we become mothers, business owners and horse owners it can be easy to let the every-day grind stop you from doing the things that you love. Kate has kept such great balance in her life as every trek she sells, she rides herself first, before anyone else, she designs the whole experience for you in person with her little family in tow. She says she has the best job in the world, and after this interview, I am hard pressed to disagree with her!I had the pleasure of going to the Margaret river ride in 2017 and it was a trip of a lifetime. But when I booked it I knew that every trek on the website had the same feel about it, and after talking to other globetrotters it seems we all felt the same. It was after that trip that I really wanted to get the full story of how such an incredible business was brought to life, so I was thrilled when Kate agreed to be interviewed for the podcast.So this episode is a little different this one is not about training or working with horses, it’s about the pure pleasure of travelling the world and having a full cultural experience on horseback.During this interview it was a bit hard for me to stay focused as the virtual tour I had on horseback was so great I found it hard to come back to earth for a while. So for this episode I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy your very own virtual tour of the world on horseback. If you would like to get in touch with Kate and her team and organise your very own life changing horse trek somewhere in this incredible world of ours, you can find her at her Globetrotting Website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest or Google Plus. I hope to meet some of you in person out there on horseback one day! For now, enjoy Kate and her incredible story so far.
