An extraordinary travel/adventure tale - a South African woman travelling solo with her two faithful horses exploring South, Central and North America over a period of almost two years. Heart-warming encounters with local people combined with many hair raising moments make this book a page-turner. It's a simple tale, which explores the complexities of the human and equine spirit and indeed the marriage of the two. Both are pushed to the limits on this revealing epic journey, with very happy and very sad consequences. Courageous yet fragile, worried yet full of conviction, amongst people yet often lonely, carefree yet feeling unsafe - these are the themes which form part of the writer's physical and psychological journey into the unknown. More than 100 colour pictures complete this unique story.
