If you are a woman who loves horses, if you love a woman who loves horses, if you are the parent of a girl, or the child of a woman who loves horses—this book is for you. Author Karin Winegar does the deepest dive yet into the nature of horse craziness, that incurable attraction and joy so many of us feel in the presence of horses.

Karin’s latest book, “Horse Lovers: Unpacking the Female Fascination,” asks the question: Why are girls and women so very often horse lovers?

Karin Winegar was born horse crazy in Albert Lea, Minnesota and never got over that stage — she even took her horse to college with her. She graduated from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and attended graduate school in English literature at the University of Minnesota.

Her freelance work has appeared in publications ranging from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to Practical Horseman, Cowboys & Indians, Conde Nast Traveler and Sailing magazine.

Karin's work has won Lowell Thomas Awards for both investigative reporting and for maritime journalism. She has won numerous awards in the equine industry including two AQHA Steel Dust Awards and the U.S. Equestrian Award.

In this episode, we’re chatting about her latest book, Horse Lovers: Unpacking the Female Fascination.
