Publisher's Summary

“You did what? Where?”

When I tell people I traveled to Mongolia to photograph a horse race, there is often confusion. Even my friends and family struggled to understand. 

I was a mother of three struggling to build a business for myself. But when I had the opportunity to travel across the world for several weeks away from everything and everyone I loved, I jumped at the chance and left it all behind for a while. 

The Gobi Desert Cup, an endurance horse race over 480 kilometers in six days on Mongolian horses, sought a writer and photographer to attend their event, and that was going to be me.

I don’t camp, I don’t normally take risks, and I don’t speak Mongolian. Yet, I never doubted for a second that I needed to be part of this experience. I knew from the very start this would be a journey of self-discovery.

I didn’t know it would change my life.

Travel to Mongolia for an endurance horse race and live with the nomads through the eyes of a timid rider and mother of three determined to be bold and live life to the fullest. 

Meet Heather: Heather Wallace is a returning adult equestrian and mama writing about her own journey to be bold in the horse world and beyond.
