Heading east, Sarah and John traversed mountains, crossed rivers, and trekked through dense forests. Along the way, they encountered various ecosystems, each with its unique charm. From the arid deserts of New Mexico to the lush forests of Tennessee, they embraced the diversity of the American landscape.

The journey was not only about the destination but also about the connections they made along the way. Sarah and John were greeted with warmth and curiosity by the locals they encountered in small towns and bustling cities. Their courage and determination struck a chord with people from all walks of life, inspiring them to chase their own dreams.

One of the most challenging aspects of the expedition was the ever-changing weather. They endured scorching heat, torrential rain, and chilling snowstorms. But through it all, Sarah and John's resilience kept them going. They sought shelter when needed, relying on the kindness of strangers who opened their doors to provide respite from the elements.

As their journey continued, the bond between Sarah, John, Midnight, and Starlight grew stronger. Each day brought new challenges, forging an unbreakable connection between human and animal. Their equids became their confidants, offering support and empathy during moments of doubt and exhaustion. This shared experience strengthened their relationship and inspired them to push further.

The climax of their journey came as they reached the vast expanse of the Great Plains. Endless fields stretched as far as the eye could see, a tribute to the raw beauty of nature. Here, they galloped freely, feeling the wind in their hair and the earth beneath their hooves. It was a moment of pure exhilaration, a testament to their perseverance and unwavering spirit.

Finally, after months of exhilarating highs and challenging lows, Sarah and John arrived at their destination - the Atlantic Ocean. The sight of the waves crashing against the shore brought tears to their eyes. They had conquered every obstacle, followed their dreams, and completed an epic journey that few could fathom.

Eastbound Two Equids In Tow is a story that reminds us of the power of perseverance, the importance of chasing our dreams, and the beauty of our natural world. It serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the unconditional love between humans and animals.

So, the next time you see a vast landscape or encounter a courageous equestrian, remember the tale of Sarah and John. Let their journey inspire you to embark on your own adventure, to chase your dreams, and to appreciate the wonders of the world around us.

OUR STORY:

The follow-up to "Ears & Emprise", this book tells the continuing story after our small family, predominantly-furry family left Colorado with our horse, Belle, and gentled burro, Noel, on military orders for our next duty station.

While "Ears & Emprise" focused on the monumental project of gentling my newly-adopted burro, "Eastbound, Two Equids in Tow" looks at the adventure of our Permanent Change of Station (PCS) through a wider lense. Like "Ears," the events of this book, just like "Ears & Emprise", are true. Our orders to leave Fort Carson, Colorado, and report to Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania came as a surprise, with a much tighter deadline than most other moves. Moving an entire household across the country at the drop of a hat is no small feat for any family, but this move was complicated by a variety of factors, including the small detail that it was my first time transporting any equine long distance, and burro Noel’s first trip as a domestic animal.

If you read this book as a military spouse, you'll understand and appreciate the obstacles we faced making this move a reality. If you're not associated closely with the military, you might become a little more thankful for your ability to plant roots, and you might wonder if we're a bit crazy for choosing to drag a small petting zoo across the country with us every few years. Crazy or not, this life is our reality, and we are choosing to live it to the fullest!

ABOUT TESS ZORBA:

"Tess Zorba" is the pen name for a pair of talented equine named Belle and Noel who spend their days creating a variety of literary projects. Belle, an American Quarter Horse, was born in Texas and grew up in Indiana. Belle's mom was named "Tess." Currently enjoying her life in Colorado, Belle shares her paddock with a formerly-wild burro named Noel. Rounded up in southern California by the Bureau of Land Management as a two-week-old foal, Noel spent part of her youth in a burro holding facility in Utah. She later moved to a government holding facility in southern Colorado, eventually finding herself at a horse rescue in Fairplay, Colorado where she was adopted into her forever home, fulfilling Belle's lifelong dream of having her own little sister. Noel's name while she lived at the horse rescue was "Zorba."

Belle discovered her talent for writing in the winter of 2018, and was quite pleased to find that her new little sister Noel is a skilled artist who enjoys illustrating their work and crafting coloring pages by hoof. In their spare time, Belle enjoys basking in the sun and eating carrots. Noel is quite athletic for a small donkey, and can often be found running, bucking, and jumping around her paddock, much like a rodeo bull. Her favorite snacks include bananas and flax cookies, although she will eat anything she deems to be edible. She often chases down tumbleweeds and consumes them stick by stick.
