Through her travels across some of Australia's most spectacular terrain, battling isolation and the elements, she built a profound bond with her horses and made life-changing discoveries where she least expected.

About the Author

From a young age, Alienor developed a passion for travelling and taking on adventures across the globe. Some of her previous expeditions include a horseback trek in Mongolia at the age of 22 and a sidecar motorbike expedition from Siberia to Paris. Alienor was working in an Aboriginal community, Docker River near Uluru, in the Australian Central Desert when she first discovered the existence of brumbies and hatched a plan to embark on her most ambitious solo expedition to date, more than 5000 kilometres on horseback, to draw attention to the plight of Australia's wild horses. She lives on a cattle station in outback Queensland.
