Lara Prior-Palmer (born 24 June 1994)[citation needed] is an athlete and writer.
She is the niece of British equestrian Lucinda Green.
[citation needed] In 2013 Prior-Palmer became the first woman to win the Mongol Derby, the world's longest horse race,[1] as well as the youngest person ever to complete it.
[2][3] Her autobiography Rough Magic, recounting her experience competing in the race, was published in 2019.
[4] The memoir received positive reviews in The Washington Post[5] and The Daily Telegraph:[6] Sarah Moss, writing in The Guardian, stated: "It's the resistance to the obvious narratives that makes Rough Magic so appealing: the book undermines lazy women-in-the-wilderness tropes at every turn.
