"If you were to lean in close and breathe deep, she would smell like heterosexuality, independence, whiteness, femininity."
As a horse girl, I was so excited when my dog walker dropped off an uncorrected proof of this book that they'd found in a book box near my house. Horse Girls is not like other "horse books", each essay is unique and offers a fresh perspective of what it is to be a Horse Girl. My favourites were Carmen Maria Machado's "Horse Girl: An Inquiry", T Kira Madden's "I Don't Love Horses", Alex Marzano-Lesnevich's "Hungry And Carefree", Braudie Blais-Billie's "Unconquered", and Rosebud Ben-Oni's "We Aren't Close To Anywhere".
