Description
Actress and equestrian Beth Behrs and her mother, longtime educator Maureen Behrs, celebrate the joyful spirit of horse girls in this uplifting picture book.
Do you want to be a horse girl? Guess what—you don’t have to have a horse or even be a girl. Anyone can be a horse girl. You only have to promise to be exactly who you are.
Horse girls are more than girls who love horses . . .
They are tough and tender leaders who slosh through mud and dance with falling leaves. They recognize the beauty in being different and know when to say, “No, thank you,” even if their voices tremble and their legs wobble. Most of all, horse girls pay attention and listen with their hearts.
Beth Behrs, cohost of the Horse Person podcast, and her mother, longtime educator Maureen Behrs, invite readers into a magical world where friendship takes many forms and courage grows one brave step at a time. With warm artwork and energetic text, The Secret Magic of Horse Girls pays tribute to the empathy and sense of belonging found at the barn.
