  • A. Thomas

    I loved the writing style of the author in this book and found I was drawn right into the journey from the start. There was no tedious repetition of the mundane daily routines but plenty of amusing anecdotes of incidents and people met along the way. If I had to say

  • Ginihan

    I found this book whilst looking for a new horse travel read and it being in the UK, recent and a lone woman ticked all my interest boxes. What a great read! So many of Cathleen's views rang true for me and I absolutely loved her positive attitude. The kit list at the end

  • Susan J. Ketley

    It was an interesting read, I was a little surprised at some of the comments made about some of her hosts who in some cases offered her food and shelter. I suspect they will not be quite so willing with the next person to call.

  • Josie Channing

    The book is interesting in itself but the narrative voice is distracting and often has a very smug point of view. There is a definite overuse of exclamation marks and naive comments on the different ways people keep horses, the management of land, and on people themselves.

  • Jennifer r

    A well written, interesting and inspirational tale of travel in the UK with a horse and dog. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
