By Laura Chester
During this impressive one-year magazine, expert horsewoman and adventurer Laura Chester brings us into her global, the place we deeply hook up with the earth and its seasons, with attractiveness and infrequently danger.
While driving in areas as far-reaching as Mexico, Australia, and India, Chester is usually thankful to return domestic to the comforts of her well-known horse. As they hide the borderland of Arizona and the hills of Massachusetts, we get to grasp Barranca as intimate better half, mediator among soul and nature, even if coming into the wilds of Cochise Stronghold or opting for Berkshire apples from the saddle.
Carried alongside on waves of reminiscence, published by way of the gaits of her smooth-moving fox trotter, this literary memoir takes us on a private exploration as well—where kin relationships are fractured through anger, jealousy, affliction, and demise. With the aid of her big-hearted animal, Chester is ready to retrieve the earlier and locate forgiveness. For as she says—“Riding Barranca places me within the second, that is the place i need to live.”
