On a whim, she decided to enter the race. As she boarded a plane to East Asia, she was utterly unprepared for what awaited her. Riders often spend years preparing to compete in the Mongol Derby, a course that re-creates the horse messenger system developed by Genghis Khan, and many fail to finish. Prior-Palmer had no formal training. She was driven by her own restlessness, stubbornness, and a lifelong love of horses. She raced for ten days through extreme heat and terrifying storms, catching a few hours of sleep where she could at the homes of nomadic families. Battling bouts of illness and dehydration, exhaustion and bruising falls, she decided she had nothing to lose. Each dawn she rode out again on a fresh horse, scrambling up mountains, swimming through rivers, crossing woodlands and wetlands, arid dunes and open steppe, as American television crews chased her in their jeeps. Told with terrific suspense and style, in a voice full of poetry and soul, Rough Magic captures the extraordinary story of one young woman who forged ahead, against all odds, to become the first female winner of this breathtaking race."--Dust jacket flap. 600 10 $a Prior-Palmer, Lara $c (Jockeys). 650 0 $a Horse racing $z Mongolia. 650 0 $a Women jockeys $z Mongolia. 650 0 $a Women jockeys $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jockeys $z Mongolia. 650 0 $a Jockeys $z Great Britain $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 33 952 $l STPC124 $d 20240716073127.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716024806.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710044357.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626020123.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013108.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014940.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015649.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207014806.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025034.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230620012057.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210022121.0 952 $l WBPB115 $d 20230209023727.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061231.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223010224.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728010939.0 952 $l SDPB094 $d 20201021170021.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806013107.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200801010337.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724011809.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529015548.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200130011833.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20191217011509.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20191210012850.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20191016010559.0 952 $l YXPB162 $d 20190918035409.0 952 $l XUPC157 $d 20190820013405.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20190718015531.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190716013556.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20190626010643.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20190620173552.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20190614015114.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190604034306.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190502010903.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3387D8A6C9F11E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
