For her, this is not just a riding lesson, but a last-ditch attempt to pull herself back from the brink even though riding is a relic from the past she walked away from. She hasn't been on or near a horse in over thirty years. Although Courtney does know what depression looks like, she finds herself refusing to admit, at this point in her life, that it could look like her: a woman with a privileged past, a mortgage, a husband, a healthy child, and a published novel. That she feels sadness is undeniable, but she feels no right to claim it. And when both therapy and medication fail, Courtney returns to her childhood passion of horseback riding as a way to recover the joy and fearlessness she once had access to as a young girl. As she finds her way, once again, through the physical and emotional landscapes of riding, Courtney becomes reacquainted with herself not only as a rider but as a mother, wife, daughter, writer, and woman. Alternating timelines and braided with historical portraits of women and horses alongside history's attempts to tame both parties, The Year of the Horses is an inspiring love letter to the power of animals-and humans-to heal the mind and the heart"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Maum, Courtney, $d 1978- 650 0 $a Horsemanship $z United States. 650 0 $a Horsemen and horsewomen $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Depression, Mental $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 16 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023745.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020415.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011651.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033415.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20231005010326.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20221201010204.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804025032.0 952 $l EXPC755 $d 20220727010148.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20220712011511.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220708010253.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630012930.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220615010333.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220602011330.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220602010508.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220601010241.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220505010446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2738EBACCC3911ECA9DB857422ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
