The Wildcast EP34: Solana Lim Perez -The Pony Girl
Solana Perez -The Pony Girl
EPISODE LINK: https://linktr.ee/JPALIPIO
She grew up riding horses, now it is becoming her life's work. My very first in person interview during this pandemic is with Sol, someone who lives in the same city as i do and is as passionate about Baguio as a Baguio person can get. Sol is an artist, an advocate, but most importantly to her she is a Pony Girl. Her entire life has been spent around the Pony Boys of Baguio who not only taught her to ride but also so many life lessons as well. They were her mentors, her fathers, her brothers, and friends importantly for her they thought her how to be a part of a world she did not belong in.
Her love of horses led her to join the Mongol Derby, a 1000km horse race across the Mongolian Steppe if and when she does this she will be the very first Filipino to achieve this amazing feat of endurance and horse riding prowess. We discuss how her life has lead her to this point, how her upbringing and a faithful expedition to Mt. Pulag on the back of a horse from Baguio when she was 4 years old served as the fuel for the dreams she has today.
