by Karin L. Winegar (Author)

If you are a woman who loves horses, if you love a woman who loves horses, if you are the parent of a girl or the child of a woman who loves horses--this is for you. Karin Winegar does the deepest dive yet into the nature of horse craziness, that incurable attraction and joy so many of us feel in the presence of horses.Why are girls and women so very often horse lovers? Who are we, this subset of female humans: risk takers, romantics, independents, all this or something else?Horse Lovers untangles the roots of female horse craziness, sizes it up, assesses its causes and effects. This book explores in depth who we are and why we feel and do what we do. It is a trail of exaltations, adventures and inquiries. It is about a colorful worldwide culture, about vivid lives and about a unique form of love.This fabulous new book asks why women who love horses seem to do so from the very first breath we inhale. Karin writes with passion, intelligence, wit, beauty, wisdom and a deep, lifelong love of horses. Horse Lovers: Unpacking the Female Fascination asks the questions we've all pondered but perhaps never voiced--inviting the readers to search for their own answers. Filled with punchy and candid thoughts from psychologists, psychiatrists, cowgirls, veterinarians, cultural anthropologists, endurance riders, saddlery owners, masters of foxhounds, authors, horse rescuers, wild horse advocates, novelists, filmmakers, scientists, poets, horse trainers, event riders, librarians, horse breeders and more with plenty of humorous asides. All this mixed with vivid adventures in the saddle at high speed over lots of ground on a variety of good horses in the company of bold and colorful women riders.
