“Ride of a Lifetime” is the story of Cynthia "Tootie" Anderson's lifetime journey with horses, and with one mare in particular. At a low ebb in Tootie's life, a big chestnut mare named Zoe entered and turned Tootie's world around. Horse lovers as well as those who don’t have any experience with horses will enjoy this book about joy, sadness, redemption, giving, and loving. Readers will also feel the raw emotions Tootie experienced when she had to overcome more obstacles than one could count, and conversely will ride right alongside her to experience her highs and success. There is something in it for everyone as it is a true “underdog takes all” story, but any junior or adult amateur who has had struggles in the horse world is sure to identify with some part of the story and love it!
