Not easy to gather this plump sum... The main part to realize its dreams, it is above all to dare and to
give itself the means. 

«Work more to win more ", that sounds well but doesn’t work as it should! The secret: get high!
Save as more as you can: no more parties, no more shopping, in fact, no useless spending.
The positive side: as you are saving, you already desensitize you to comfort and consumerism. 

We thought of Equiaventuras T-shirts and bags... Why, it allows you to gather capital by exchanging
something. It is always more pleasant to sell an object, even symbolic, as to beg. And mouth with ears
works better if your friends wear your T-shirts!

Sponsoring and partnerships are a real chance when that works... But in times of crisis, it is hard!
The big brands sponsor more important projects (ex: humanitarian) or more media organizations
(ex: high-level sportsmen). We were surprised at the same time by so many warm and encouraging
welcome of companies. Partnerships with the equipment manufacturers and small firms work better as
far as you are not too greedy and where you play the game (a good reduction on the equipment it is
already very well). It is necessary to convince but especially to honour its promises! I had quite a lot
of echos of horseback travellers whom took advantage of the kindness of certain suppliers and which
have never given sign of life afterward. When you arrived after such persons, the reception is of course
more suspicious.

Associative organizations and journey prizes: they are here for that! Your project will always be well
welcomed even if you will not be the prize-winner. A last small piece of advice: make and customize
your equipment! Buy the raw material and according to your knowledge, do by yourself. The journey
equipment must be modified to increase its resistance, relieve its weight or optimize its uses. You will
save and you can repair your equipment during the expedition (see: Techniques of journey on
horseback, Emile Brager).
