She Flies Without Wings : How Horses Touch a Woman's Soul

Rating:
Summary: a wonderful read
Review: This was a truly delightful read. I have also read Midkiff's Fitness Performance and the Female Equestrian (also a good book to read), but this book really explores the connection between women and horses. It is obvious that she really loves horses. A good book to curl up with.

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Review: This was the most wonderful book I've read I do believe. It is obvious the author's love and understanding of horses. I felt like I should know this lady because I too grew up in the area she did so I could relate to everything she said about the people, as well as about horses and their personalities. I'd recommend anyone who truly loves horses to read this book.

Summary: A Blessing of a Book!
Review: With uncanny insight and wisdom Ms.Midkiff has put eloquently into words the very emotions I have experienced my past 25 years with horses. This book has touched me and made me even more aware of the gifts I receive on a daily basis. As she so simply and profoundly states in this book - "When I ride [my mare] her unity with the outside world is so absolute that I have no choice but to follow her into it. I must stop thinking about deadlines and the grocery list... because they have no place the the world my equine guide is showing me. I can't help but open my eyes to what she sees and my ears to what she hears. I note the flicker of a cottontail disappearing into the brush ahead and hear the call of the meadowlark before spotting it. I swim in her quiet." Bravo, Ms. Midkiff! Though we have never met I am certain we are of the same herd. Thank you for such an inspiring read!
