SOMMER SADDLE - the best for your horse, donkey or mule - and of course the best saddle for you! - Eco-Adventure.Org

Sommer Saddle - handmade saddle in best quality

"No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle."

Sir Winston Churchill

6000 Miles through the USA on saddle, for this adventure tour an extraordinary saddle is necessary. The tour was completed successfully by an adventurer in the 70's with an Sommer Saddle. - Now we will travel 7000 Miles through Europe with our donkey Hercules and our Sicilian Cart. We are glad that the Sommer Saddle Manufacturer, as one of the best in the wold, will accompany us on this great adventure with his evolution western saddle.

A really optimal evolution from a western saddle!

Inclusive a matching saddle pad:

Both are perfect for long distance riding.

Of course a suitable horse bit with bridle and reins shouldn't be missing:

And that's not all. There are also a couple of saddlebags - in Sommer quality.

Very beauty&use-full Saddlebags for the front...

...and Saddlebags for the backside - handmade quality - from Sommer.

PLUS a great cantlebag for rainwear:

and a bag for a coat for the front:

And finally, very comfortable riding gloves,

to hold on better in saddle when Hercule deflects the first days. :-)

(He's a good donkey - but a donkey - and with his five years still in puberty...)

So long rides over thousands of miles is nothing in the way. - Thanks to Sommer!

Soon more about the tours.

First a short video clip - riding on Hercule:

...and another one - Hercule is greeting is friends...

Adventure is a path...

Explore. Dream. Discover!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - By Mark Twain.

YES, WE REALLY CAN DO IT !

Scientific American is an science magazine. It is notable for its long history of presenting scientific information, through its careful attention to the clarity of its text as well as the quality of its specially commissioned colour graphics.

Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have contributed articles in the past 168 years. It is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States.

In this article you can read about the possibility to live only with wind water and solar power. - Let's do it!

The Eco Adventure Hill you'll find in the middle of the greenest nature area of the sunny island - on the north side of Sicily - directly in the front of the *Aeolian Islands*.

The most common point of view below our Adventure Hil is *Tindari*, a very famous sanctuary. Underneath in Locanda there is one of the best locals, called "Pane e Vino", with all the cheese and sausages of the region, delicious barbecues and good house wines as well as weekly Sicilian live music.

From there a few hundred meters up you come to the small mountain village *Scala di Patti* with picturesque landscape - and just above there is our wild land, which you enter in the *Contrada Lupa* (the way of the wolves)...

After some international inquiries from television companies, which we rejected because we wont sell our souls for some crap, two serious and professional filmmakers with good portfolios recently approached us. We will see what comes out. - And you can see as well. :-) Even better, you can be part of it!

Before we present our own videos, initially on our YouTube channel and later on our environmentally friendly Eco-Server.

Until then, a few articles from journalists who reported on our social work:
