By Nancy Marie Brown

According to Icelandic poetry a good horse can make its rider “king for a while”.  But finding a good horse requires a keen and practiced eye, Nancy Marie Brown put her eye to the test when she travels to Iceland to find the perfect horse.  She arrives in Iceland shaken by tragedy, uncertain of the language, lacking confidence in her riding skills; but she is determined to make her search a success.  She finds inspiration in the country’s austere and majestic landscape, which is alive with the ghosts of an adventure filled past.

Evocative, clear-headed and richly described this book of for anyone who has at some time in their life searched for something perfect.

“The next best thing to experiencing Iceland firsthand, this is a compelling read.  You will cheer her choices!” The Gaited Horse
