The Ride of Her Life: The True Story of a Woman, Her Horse, and Their Last-Chance Journey Across America Free Audiobook Download by Elizabeth Letts

Twenty-nine years ago, Anne and Gabrielle Knight set off on a journey that would change their lives forever. On horseback, they began a 10,000-mile ride across America with an unusual cargo: a purebred Arabian stallion named Ali. Their goal was to travel from coast to coast and share the story of their adventure in hopes of raising enough money to save him from the slaughterhouse.

One day, Julie and her horse, Simon, were riding on a country road when they were attacked by a group of men. After the robbers left in their dust, the two found themselves lost in the vast expanse of America. As they travelled on through Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky, they survived by eating roots off the ground, drinking from streams and even trading their old feed bag for food. Finally reaching their destination in Florida, Julie finds herself with no family to rely on. She's alone and about to start over again with her horse when an opportunity arises for them to travel across America together as celebrities.

In the early morning hours of April 15, 2015, a horse named Lady and her rider Elizabeth Letts left their ranch in eastern Oregon to roam free. Together they would embark on an epic cross-country journey across many states of America, where they would share their story with strangers through social media. The journey began as a last-chance plan for Elizabeth and Lady. They were leaving it all behind because Elizabeth knew that once she and her horse reached the East Coast, it would be too late. She knew there was no way to turn back from where she was headed – death or rehab.

Elizabeth Letts grew up in a cult in the Florida Panhandle. She was an only child and raised to be a horse breeder and trainer, but she never thought she would end up on horseback herself. A few years ago, her parents died, leaving her with just debts and responsibilities that were no longer hers. Elizabeth enlisted the help of a man who she met online after posting about being broke from living off credit cards to buy horses for exotic animal auctions. He offered to take her across America with him on horseback for two summers as payment. They called their trip The Ride of Her Life.

This is the true story of a rider and her horse who made the journey from Florida to Oregon on the last day they could legally leave their property. Elizabeth Lett's narrative is a wild ride that will take you into realms of hope and despair, joy and sorrow. This is a gripping tale of triumph over adversity unlike any other.

The Ride of Her Life is Elizabeth's story about a horse that was saved from slaughter, as well as the journey she took across America with him and her children. The book follows her group of horse riders from Calhoun, Georgia to the coast of California and includes many true stories that are sure to keep you hooked.
