Horses
and Their Women by Barbara E. Cohen, Louise Taylor Our
Price: $12.95 |
This is really a very sweet book. It would be a perfect gift for a young girl
in her early teens that has been bitten by the horse bug. It has over 100 pages,
with a large black and white photo on one side, and an essay on the other. Some
of the essays are short, some are boring, and some make you wonder why you
bought this book. But then you read the ones that bring tears to your eyes and
you know why. This book shows us women and the horses they love, and in their
own words they tell us a little about themselves and their horse. It's not a
glorious coffee table book like GaWaNi Pony Boy's is, but it is a charming book
to read and pass along to other women, or our daughters who share our love of
horses. (Laura Haggarty)
Scores of small essays about the special horse(s) in various women's lives. A
big black and white photo on one page is complemented by the story right beside
it. There are no color photos. Some of the "essays" are only two
sentences long! Some of the stories are hilarious, some heartbreaking, some just
silly or sappy. Still, there is a genuine love of horses here, and no
male-bashing like the title might suggest. If you love horses, real horses, not
just fictional or perfect horses, than display this book proudly on your shelf
