‘This ride was epic! It was amazing— not always easy, but I would not change a thing. We rode 260 kilometres in 10 days. We had what felt like endless canters across the steppe, a wide open space. We camped and stayed in ger’s, and tackled unexpectedly bad weather. We climbed mountains on the horses, with our luggage transported on a yak being herded around the mountain—I will never forget this sight. We sat around a fire singing songs. The Mongolian songs were truly beautiful. We learnt about local beliefs—Mother Earth, Father Sky, and looking after everything in the middle. We had no phone, no internet, and our few possessions, in a very empty space; it clears the head and makes you realise what you need and don’t need. It makes you realise what matters. I would do it all over again.’
