Down the Aisle is a captivating memoir of a horsewoman as she
travels "down the aisle" populated by the horses, mentors and
experiences that enrich a life's journey. The doors to that aisle
swung open over 50 years ago, evolving from a little girl's love of
horses that developed into a life long, incurable case of horse
fever. From the struggle to maintain a presence in the aisle
through financial setbacks as well as love lost and found, Down the
Aisle is the story of a woman whose life has been shaped and
strengthened by the aisle she has followed for the love of horses.
The author's special insights on the changing face of equestrian
sport over five decades entwines through riding academies, show
hunters, fox hunting, breeding, eventing and ultimately dressage.
Mentors from Prussian cavalry officers to Olympians as well as
first love ponies to Grand Prix partners come alive. The text
resonates with all horse lovers who can relate through the dreams
and experiences that fill their own aisles. It will make readers
laugh, it will make them cry and, in the end, it will warm their
hearts.
