What kind of idiot opens and runs a riding school when they are scared of horses, can't ride, with no capital, no insurance and half the horses are not fit for the knacker's yard? The author is that idiot and in the first part of this short novella Lucinda E Clarke explains how it all came about and how she finds herself the reluctant proprietor of a riding school in the wilds of Africa.

More unbelievable tales from behind the camera lens, as Lucinda and her 'rainbow crew' travel across South Africa. They meet Mandela, endure a terrifying helicopter ride and empathize with the forlorn Bushmen. There are riots, an abandoned patient, a ram with an identity crisis and a house that disappears....

Lucinda had always wanted to write but was coerced into becoming a teacher. Twenty years later she 'fell' into the media working on radio and television. This book shows what really goes on behind the camera, the things you don't see on your television screen and how Lucinda who was taught not to lie as a child, now lied to make a living.
