Description
Rough Magic: Riding the World's Wildest Horse Race is an unforgettable true story of adventure and self-discovery. In 2013, Lara Prior-Palmer embarked on the Mongol Derby, a grueling 1000km horse race across the Mongolian plains, with just 25 horses to carry her through seven days of extreme heat, storms, and exhaustion. Despite being underprepared and facing numerous challenges, including illness, dehydration, and bruising falls, Lara persevered, driven by her love of horses and a desire for freedom. Her determination paid off in one of the Derby's most unexpected results: she became the youngest-ever champion and the first woman to win the race. This gripping memoir is as much about Lara's personal journey as it is about the Mongol Derby itself. With its themes of fortitude, poetry, and the human spirit, Rough Magic is a tale that will leave you in awe of one young woman's courage and resilience.
