A Standard Journey

They rescued five horses from an unknown fate and set out on a life-changing journey. Jackie and Noel sold everything, trained the lost and confused horses, and pushed their own limits to create an unbreakable team. Their adventure along Australia's majestic Bicentennial National Trail was more challenging and rewarding than they ever imagined.

Life on the trail became about endurance, camping, and survival, with minimal support and all their worldly possessions on horseback. Facing the beauty and dangers of the trail, Jackie and Noel-amateur horse-handlers-made plenty of mistakes, but with humor and determination, they learned valuable lessons. Fears were conquered, bonds were forged, but would the team of seven that started together finish together?
