It's beautifully written, but balances a thin line; the gorgeous metaphors that almost erase the species boundary between human and horse enrich the language, but also sometimes grew to be a bit more than I could readily stomach. It is no doubt a touching work, though, and especially the later chapters tugged on my heartstrings as it reminded me of my late companion, who might have been an "ugly" horse but who forever will be the best horse I ever knew. I generally reject any notion of female and male thinking (or the usefullness of categorizing humanity into male and female at all), but read as an account of personal experiences and growth, I think this book is well worth reading, and I will be recommending it to my horse-loving best friend in short order.

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.
