Why read it?
1 author picked The Horsewoman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed this story, even though it was more about the rivalry between mother and daughter striving for Olympic Gold than it was about horses.

From Linda's list on adventure on horseback for adults.
