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.
