Girl Forward: A Tale of One Woman's Unlikely Adventure in Mongolia

By Heather Wallace

"She did what? Where?" When I tell people I traveled to Mongolia for a horse race my family and friends struggled to understand. Who can blame them? In early 2018 I was struggling to dissolve the business I shared with a friend and partner. Always striving to be positive, I focused on creating a new solo business and rebranding my blog into The Timid Rider. In starting over, I found the opportunity to travel to Mongolia with The Gobi Desert Cup, an endurance horse race over 480 kilometers in six days and on Mongolian horses. Here I was, a mother of three struggling to build a business for herself. Yet now I had an opportunity to travel across the world for several weeks away from everything and everyone who was important. I don't camp, I don't take normally take risks, and I don't speak Mongolian. Yet, I never doubted for a second that I needed to do this. I knew from the very start this would be a journey of self-discovery. I didn't know it would change my life.
