Beginning with a traumatic horse-riding accident, Wells reflects on the personalities and characters of the many horses--both real and fictional--who have accompanied her through often difficult life experiences, teaching her strength, resilience, discipline, care, and trust. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cowgirl and the Racehorse\u003c\/i\u003e is also a scholarly reflection on the many cowgirl narratives--films, television shows, music, and books--that have marked the author's life passages and which offer complex and compelling images for girls as they grow: particularly in terms of their independence of spirit and the social and familial expectations with which they are burdened. Finally, \u003ci\u003eThe Cowgirl and the Racehorse\u003c\/i\u003e is a detailed examination of the ethical and societal questions raised by the sometimes dangerous and cruel, and sometimes seductive and compelling, world of horseback riding. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashley Wells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590566335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590566336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lantern Publishing \u0026amp; Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Ashley Wells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795423056127,"sku":"9781590566336","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc35c4cb-7b3b-48f0-a2f9-8038861be858.jpg?v=1744947556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cowgirl-and-the-racehorse-ashley-wells-9781590566336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
