Description

With her epilepsy somewhat under control, Nicole sets her sights on racing a horse.

Then she travels to Arizona to witness the human vs. horse races of today: meeting horse riders and ultramarathoners who compete alongside each other in impressive, 50-mile runs.  Learn more about your ad choices.
