Many if not most women have been locked in a battle with their
bodies for as long as they can remember. And when it comes to
riding horses, they drag their arsenal of self-doubt with them
every time they step into the saddle. Some quit riding completely.
Others ride, but are frustrated by their lack of progress as riders
or what they see as poor performance. They succumb to silent
self-torment as they wonder how they look, what others think, and
whether they have any business on the back of a horse if their
jeans feel a little too tight.
Regardless of seat size, riding discipline, or the degree -- or
even truth -- of the body issues with which they struggle, the
scars on female self-image in our society run deep and wide. So
with the humor and big-sisterly swagger that readers and reviewers
have come to love, Melinda Folse, author of bestseller "The Smart
Woman's Guide to Midlife Horses," has decided to step in with a
delightful, insightful, fulfilling new book. "Riding Through Thick
and Thin" delves to the bottom of the issues that have long held
women hostage, bringing together experts, research, resources, and
stories to encourage, inspire, and empower. Readers will find some
answers that may surprise them: Believe it or not, this is not
about losing weight or getting fit (although if that's a point of
interest, there's a section packed with helpful tools and ideas).
This book is more about what's going on in every woman's mind --
and it taps new findings in neuroscience to reveal that permanent
change to deeply ingrained body image issues is not only possible,
but it may be much easier than we think.
