There are many modern day sports involving horses: running, jumping, dressage, the Paso Fino of Puerto Rico, the sled pulling of New England, jousting tournaments in the castles of Wales, endurance runs across the Rocky Mountains, and many others, including the fascinating sport of horse archery in which a rider, at full gallop with bow and arrow, engages a series of targets. Magdalene and her Icelandic pony Baldur are champions of the sport. A true warrior, she has trained from early age in the Viking Martial Arts known as Glima. Magdalene is also master of jiu-jitsu and Viking sword fighting. Travis 'Spotted Wolf 'O'Higgins a journalist for a popular motorcycle magazine and author, is one of those who, while surfing Facebook, came across a posting made by Magdalene. Of Viking-Irish and Comanche heritage, Travis grew up a cowboy working cattle on Northern Arizona ranches, and he knew about horses. He had also been a part time archer and bow hunter so when he found a picture posted on Facebook of an alluring blond lady astride a horse with arrow nocked and bow drawn back, he instantly felt he wanted to know more about her and he wonders, "is she the right woman?"
