Horses Touch a Woman's Soul

This groundbreaking new book that explores a powerful relationship like no other: the magical kinship between women and horses, comes from a renowned horsewoman and gifted storyteller. Through women's deeply personal stories, we learn how horses enrich our lives and connect us to nature–making us readers of rhythm and invisible signs, helping us harness our youthful sexuality, and sharing the "horsepower" we need to reach our dreams.

For thousands of years, the deep kinship between women and horses has connected us to our most intimate feelings of delight, helped us learn to solve problems, and set our creativity free. She Flies Without Wings uses great literature and myth, from the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer to the fiction of Jane Austen to folktales from around the world, to encompass a wide spectrum of beliefs and perspectives–and creates a true celebration of speed, air, and the spectacular animal that connects us with both.

Filled with the moving lessons–about sensuality, commitment, power, nurturance, and spirituality–women riders have known for centuries, written with a loving hand by an expert equestrian, She Flies Without Wings is an eloquent paean to a pairing that enlivened history, inspired literature, and continues to enchant us all.
