Horse Woman: Notes on Living Well & Riding Better

McLean’s debut book, Horse Woman, is a collection of musings pulled from her personal riding journals and blog, in which she offers insight that can be applied to many areas of life. These entries are split into four sections representing the seasons, and discuss how seasonal changes govern the routines of both horse and rider. With humility and good humour, McLean touches on personal triumphs and struggles and passes her hard-learned lessons along to the reader. A collection of book club questions is included at the end, which could be useful for a novel study, whether the whole book is covered or only one season.
