4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 54 ratings
See all formats and editions
This engaging story is not for horse lovers alone, but for all ages and all walks of life who have ever had dreams. It take you on one woman's journey from childhood to old age in a life of joy and passion. You will find her failures and her successes full of laughter and tears. Julie Suhr never wavered in the ardor she felt for riding horses and, with delight, she shares the experiences. Between the ears of good horses, she and her husband, Bob, have seen the world from the Siberian border and Outer Mongolia, to the Alaskan tundra, the Outback of Australia, South Africa, France and among the wild animals of Botswana. They have left their tracks on the Pony Express Trail, the Bitterroot Mountains and along the Mexican border and through the redwood forests of California, all on the horses who have shaped her life.

Ten feet tall if such an inspiring story. I loved the historical chapters on what the silicon valley was like before technology took it over. Julie also showed that even a legend in endurance racing faces insecurities and fear at times. She made mistakes and persevered. Most of all she put her horses first and owned it when she felt that she might not have. This is an amazing read.

4.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful homage to the Tevis trai, the women and men who ride it and especially their horses

The author tells a beautiful story of the horses she rode and loved in her record breaking career riding for the 100 mile challenge called the Tevis cup. She loves the trail as well and by the end of the book you’ll love it too. Her intimate descriptions of the trail and her years of experience in endurance riding combine with her love of horses to take the reader on an intimate and fascinating journey. Guaranteed a good read.

Julie Suhr is the most fabulous horsewoman in the land. The rides she completed were awesome and
she is still beautiful and riding, I saw her in the Rose Bowl parade and I think she has to be over 90 riding
her beautiful Arabian. She is someone all equestrians can admire and respect. The book was great and
I felt like I had completed the Tevis when she came to the finish..

The author started endurance riding in the earliest years of the sport. Her descriptions are encouraging, realistic, and sometimes inspiring.

If you are in a horsewoman biography mood, this book will satisfy. For women that are not the starch and press types, or endurance junkies, this is a fun read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Woman, An Amazing Story
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2012

I am new to endurance and now I get why Julie Suhr is a legend in our sport. This story is more than a book about endurance. It is about a woman living her dream with horses.

What is so inspiring about this story is that Julie Suhr did not start her endurance career until she was in her 40's. She is a role model to all horsewomen and her story is an inspiration to every women. Her insights about horses and her adventures around the world make this book a must for any horse lover.

Thank you Kindle for making this story available as the original book is out of print. And for those that read this book wondering where she is today, I am happy to report that she was on the cover of Endurance news last month and even popped up on RideCamp last week. She is in her 80's and not only still riding but competing in LD's.
