Description



About the Book



Roadtrip! My dog, Mister, and I crossed thirty states, saw two oceans, and drove fourteen thousand miles. We were nomads looking for horse training adventure. It's a celebration of sunsets, RV parks, and undomesticated women.




Book Synopsis



Welcome to our year of living compactly. My dog, Mister, and I took to the road pulling our A-frame trailer, the Rollin' Rancho. I'm a traveling horse trainer/clinician, who became a non-essential worker during the COVID-19 lockdown. Then, in 2022, we bounced back. We were nomads looking for horse training adventure and liver treats. Work paid for the trip; it was part clinic tour, part travelogue, part squirrel hunt. But mostly an unapologetic celebration of sunsets, horses, RV parks, roadkill, diverse landscapes, and undomesticated women.

It's a book made of made of adjectives and nouns, blue skies and tornado watches, resorts and reservations, open roads to the horizon, and one-lane dead-ends. We emerge from the truck in a cloud of dog hair and sunflower shells, like disoriented and scruffy rock stars in a GPS haze, not entirely lost or found.

This book isn't about training, although there are horses in it. It's a follow-up of Stable Relation, my first book, but my life changed in ways I would never have guessed, so don't expect the usual sequel. Undomesticated Women is a travel memoir, a peek behind the curtains of what my job is like. I wanted to see this beautiful country, do some time travel, and explore thoughts and memories now that I've become a gray mare.

Mister would tell you it's his memoir about being tasked with the unreasonable job of guarding me against a wild range of dangers. Like eating dinner late. He's a dog unimpressed with my tiny fame.



Review Quotes




In this deeply personal account of her life as a traveling equine clinician, author, and horse advocate, Anna Blake celebrates the lives of the women and horses she meets. Driving from coast-to-coast with her Corgi, Mister, Anna braves interstates and dirt roads, RV parks and truck stops, sharing what she sees with a clear and clever wit. If you're curious about the traveling lifestyle, in this book you'll find the heart-touching (and sometimes heart-stopping) accounts of a woman who, despite the world's best attempts, remains undomesticated.

-Crissi McDonald, Author and Equine bodyworker/clinician

I found that Undomesticated Women: Anecdotal Evidence from the Road by Anna Blake to be a great travel memoir. The author provides vivid details of what she saw and what she did along her travels. I enjoyed seeing through her eyes of the adventures she encountered. As an animal lover and a mama of a horse crazed teenager, I was hooked. I was able to connect with the author almost instantly. I loved how she was able to tell her about herself and what was going through. I admired her bravery in taking this journey with her sweet little furry friend and telling her story. At times, the book toyed with my emotions, one moment I was brought to tears and wanting to grab the tissues, while the next, I am laughing out loud. I greatly enjoyed reading this tale and found it to be inspiring. I loved spending a cold, snowy day while reading it. I am giving Undomesticated Women: Anecdotal Evidence from the Road a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading memoirs. I believe it would be a perfect placement in public libraries. I would love to see more books from Anna Blake in the future. She no doubt is a gifted storyteller. I received a paperback copy of Anna Blake's Undomesticated Women: Anecdotal Evidence from the Road from the publisher but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
