From a renowned horsewoman and gifted storyteller comes this
groundbreaking new book that explores a powerful relationship like
no other: the magical kinship between women and horses.
Drawing from myth and literature, the author’s own experiences, and
interviews with countless women, we learn, through women’s deeply
personal stories, how horses enrich our lives and connect us to
nature–making us readers of rhythm and invisible signs, helping us
harness our youthful sexuality, sharing the “horsepower” we need to
reach our dreams. And here we see how, 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.
From the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer to the fiction of Jane Austen
to folktales from around the world, She Flies Without Wings
uses great literature and myth 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.
