Lyrical
- Poetic - Powerful. I hesitate to say more about this lovely
book, because I do not want to spoil the sheer dream-like quality
of the prose.
Mary Midkiff
(also the author of the wonderful Fitness, Performance,
and the Female Equestrian) has written a book that is
destined to become a classic. She Flies Without Wings
- How Horses Touch a Woman's Soul - is 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. Better yet, start a women's equestrian
book club and make this volume your first topic.
