Following in Genghis Khan's Hoof Prints - Part 1 - Tim Cope

Adventurer Tim Cope rowed from Lake Baikal to the Arctic, cycled from Moscow to Beijing, and completed many other adventures. But when he decided to ride a horse 6,000 miles across Central Asia, his mother expressed concern: Tim had never ridden a horse since he broke his arm, falling off one as a child. But three years later, the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year finished his ride, retiring his horses at a farm in Hungary. He tells Boyd that on the way, his horses were stolen, he raised a dog on the steppe, and learned a lot about life, love and commitment along the way. Tim's chronicled his story as well as the history of life on the steppe in his book, On the Trail of Genghis Khan: An Epic Journey Through the Land of the Nomads.
