Going away from dogs for a moment, and just submitted the folllowing horsy
title, for the ladies, and the gentemen who want to find out what it is with
women and horses.
Is under the .rtf section of the website for validators, and should be an
easy validation needs a spell check but besides that nothing much. I
checked pagination, removed headers kept page numbers, fixed chapter
headings so that they wouldn't be destroyed, and did some other stuff,
removing junk characters.
She Flies Without Wings
by Mary D. Midkiff
#1 DENVER POST BESTSELLER
"Lyrical. Poetic. Powerful...Destined to become a classic...a stirring
volume about the profound and intense relationship between women and
horses. Midkiff is a splendid writer and has produced a truly breakthrough
book. Run out and buy a copy for yourself, and pick up an extra for
your favorite girlfriend." -Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar
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.
"Lyrical and compelling, Midkiff's prose speaks to the depth of a
woman's soul." -Susan Chernak McElroy, New York Times bestselling
author of Animals As Teachers & Healers
