This is the true story of Barbara Kingscote who, in 1949, rode her little black Arab mare Zazy from Quebec to British Columbia by herself. She was 20 years old. She started out with $100, 3 maps, a camera, camping gear, an oat bag, a rifle and her mother's salmon sandwiches. On the 4000 mile journey, young Barbara learns all she needs to know about freedom and independence while gaining a deep understanding and close bond with her marvelous companion Zazy. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In May 1949, at the age of twenty, Barbara Kingscote left her farm in Mascouche, Quebec, and set out for the Pacific Ocean on horseback. Barbara and her equine companion Zazy reached the West Coast just over a year later, after travelling 4,000 miles and discovering the heart of this great country. A touching coming of age tale, "Ride the Rising Wind" invites us all to travel along with Barbara and Zazy as they struggle through the harsh wilderness and still-developing urban centres of the Canadian landscape in the mid twentieth century. With only $100, a map, and a handful of supplies, the intrepid duo made their trek across the country counting on luck, determination, and the generosity of strangers to see them through. From the vast shores of the Great Lakes, to the stark beauty of the plains, to the towering heights of the Rockies, "Ride the Rising Wind" reveals Canada through the fresh eyes of a brave young woman discovering both herself and her country on the journey of a lifetime.
