LAST JUMP gallops to a launch Takapuna Library 26 Sept

The Friends of Takapuna Library & Cape Catley
invite you to join Gordon McLauchlan to launch

The Last Jump
Elizabeth Benney’s latest book
Monday 26 September, 6.00pm Takapuna Library

From a top rider with a lifetime love of horses comes this New Zealand-American life-story of sheer determination and laughter. Liz Benney, a self-confessed brat of a child from New Plymouth, now runs a horse farm in the US. She faces what we must all confront – at what point do we look at ourselves and decide that the time has really come for us to give up at least some of the challenges enjoyed when we were younger.
Liz Benney was born in New Plymouth, where her family home, Tupare, remains an historic home. She now lives in the US where she ran a horse-boarding business on a New England farm until retiring several years ago. In her 70s Liz recalls time in NZ, the US and China.
