Horsetalk.co.nz A tribute to Basha: Long rider’s legacy will endure
Basha O’Reilly and Count Pompeii.
Long rider Lucy Leaf, who rode 7000 miles through the United States, pays tribute to the late Basha O’Reilly, a legend of long-distance equestrian adventure, who died on January 13.
I never met her. Nor CuChullaine for that matter. But I feel I know her, for I’ve read her story, and that of her stallion, Count Pompeii, whose legend carries on in the extraordinary website she created as the hub of the Long Riders’ Guild. This is her work, I know, for she was the IT person. Though published herself, she considered CuChullaine the writer.

Basha and Count Pompeii set off to ride from Volgograd, Russia to London, England.
Basha O’Reilly wasn’t born in the saddle, but it didn’t take her long to climb on a horse and begin a life filled with adventure and romance.
From the moment she climbed aboard her first pony, Mustard, she was destined to be an equestrian explorer.
Basha, who died in France on January 13 after a brief illness, found solace in the saddle, feeding what came to be an insatiable appetite to see the world on horseback.
