- Learning to ride for the first time, figuring out how to obtain a passport for a horse and pulling the strings together to finally meet the open road.
– The first moments of any big journey make the most poignant memories.
– First week roughing it in India, meeting all manners of people from fierce nomads to savage monkey villages. And all ending with Rosie being stolen.
- Stopping at the spiritual centre of Kurukshetra with a lame horse and no time for waiting. Learnt about the reality of an Indian education.

After having Rosie’s shoes changed and experiencing the worst fright of his life, Steve finally reaches the border only face on last major hurdle –
– “Mosques dominate the landscape and people are perhaps a little more genuine. The sun gradually set next to the hazy spire of a lonely mosque as we pulled in for tea and biscuits at the road-side."
In April 2005, Rosie gave birth to a surprise infant foal, meaning she'd been pregnant throughout the Indian journey. The proud mother is now happily settled in Fatehabad, Haryana, several hours north of New Delhi.
