The Caravan is a 2500 mile transcontinental journey, led by two organizers, Michael Muir and Gerard Paagman, who began their travels from Murrieta, California on November 1, 2014. The Caravan's destiny? The Grand Oaks Resort in Weirsdale, Florida on March 21, 2015 at 11 a.m.
Michael Muir has a history of 50 years of horse breeding, and has bred, raised, trained and shown National Grand Champions in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Michael has represented the United States in six International/World Champion Driving Competitions, winning medals and champion honors in Germany, Austria, France and Great Britain.
Gerard Paagman started riding and driving at the ripe age of 8. Born and raised in The Netherlands, he moved when he was 40 with his family and Friesian horses to British Columbia. Gerard drove the Olympic torch in 2000 for the Winter Games in Canada over a frozen lake. He is driving six of his Friesians on this journey (who were recently in the Hunger Games Catching Fire movie). They were hauled from British Columbia to Murietta.
Participants have joined up with The Caravan while they could escape their day-to-day responsibilities from all over the world while the troupe traveled in California and Arizona. They are enjoying fantastic hospitality and invitations for at the spur of the moment participation in local holiday parades along the way. See the video below capturing their travels and beautiful landscape.
