Riding by Faith through Israel, by Tracey Elliot-Reep
This year marks one hundred years since the end of the First World War.
Tracey Elliot-Reep, from Widecombe-in-the-Moor, has
published five photographic books about her adventures,
‘riding by faith’ on horseback across many nations. She recently
took on the challenge of photographing the re-enactment of
the Charge of Beersheba in Israel, and courageously explored
this potentially dangerous country with her two horses.
Tracey begins her book with “the forgotten war” in the Middle
East. After the disaster of Gallipoli, 800 ANZAC cavalry
(Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) achieved an
astonishing victory when they galloped five miles across the
Turkish front line and captured the city of Beersheba. The
Commander in Chief of the Middle East campaign, General
Allenby, called it…
“The last and greatest cavalry charge in history.”
Tracey begins her own ride at the base of the Golan Heights, to
the north. Here, she is abandoned by her travelling companion,
in the middle of nowhere, with no water and only a map in
Hebrew that she can’t read. But she is determined to press on,
and she and her two horses continue to travel and camp out on
the Golan Heights, within earshot of the war in Syria, just over
the border.
They ride through many dangers, from the Golan Heights in the
north to the Negev desert in the south, and on through the
Judean Desert and West Bank, finishing their journey in the
ancient city of Jerusalem.
During her challenging travels through Israel, Tracey meets
many inspirational people and explores the layers of history of
this fascinating country, from the Biblical era through to modern
times.
This photographic book will appeal to anyone with a sense of
adventure, or with an interest in Israel and Middle East
campaign of the First World War. Tracey helps us to understand
the complex history of Israel and Palestine through her
straightforward style of writing, and her beautiful photographs
give us a further insights into this diverse and dramatic
landscape.
Tracey dedicates her book in memory of those brave men and
horses who fought and died in the Middle East, one hundred
years ago, and to the present day Israeli people, without whose
hospitality this ride through Israel would not have been possible.
Tracey’s “Israel” is a book you will not want to put down!
This book is unusual in that Tracey brings to life an epic and historic WW1 charge by mounted Australian soldiers on a superior force as she films and documents its re-enactment by Australian horsemen 100 years on.
The brilliant photography and narrative make one very aware of the bravery and daring of men and horses in the original act of warfare.
The second part of the book recounts Tracey’s adventures as she treks almost the length of Israel taking in the Golan heights, in the north, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, legendary Masada to the barren Negev desert in the south, eventually entering Jerusalem on horseback, with packhorse in tow.
Again, the superb photography is blended with notes on historical places as well as the detailed day to day account of her journeying, which most of us would find just too daunting, not to mention dangerous.
I was impressed with her accounts of the helpfulness of the Jewish settlers, a tough group of people who have put down roots in one of the most dangerous areas of the world because they believe it is the land God gave to their ancestors and they are not ready to be displaced or threatened with extinction ever again. I believe their willingness to help Tracey so generously was because they saw in her a kindred spirit – an unassuming woman, but with a toughness and resourcefulness they related to and admired. You will love the unusual insight into their daily lives which Tracey gives.
The well-documented and photographed links with Biblical history are blended with Tracey’s own Christian faith, the thread of which is entwined in all her equine adventures.
Horse-lovers will enjoy the careful inclusion of the horses, their characters and strengths, as she gradually gives her two relatively untrained steeds the confidence to cope with the arduous journey, where the quest for thirst-quenching water and food is a daily anxiety.
I think this latest book will appeal to anyone with an interest in WW1 history, in unique travel adventure and in the intriguing and continually developing bond between a woman and her two equine friends as they trek over mountains and desert terrain in Israel, finally entering Jerusalem as a fitting climax to an incredible journey.
