The Black Stallion And The Girl (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Book

The girl in this book is somewhat like me, however I could never really see myself being like her. With her hippie kinda of ways. However I know how she felt when she has to prove herself to a bunch of shovenistic men who believe a women's place is in the home not on a horse. I myself have had to go through that with my father in a way. But once he saw what my Arabian stallion Zsa Zsa and I could do he changed his mind very quickly. I also changed the minds of his horse friends. By not using a bit, but a Hackamoore. No spurs and lots of love and friendship that my horse and I shared together. Most people thought he was a killer even in his older age. But to put a young teenage girl who at the time weighed 100 lbs, on the back of a raging stallion, and see how much he calmed down and actually listened to somebody, can open the eyes of a lot of people set in their ways. That yes girls do deserve, and will and are currently working in the world of horses. They will be here for sure, much longer then men will be.
