Good, because it’s bullshit written by someone who likely never spent much time around horses. I say likely because he was a zoologist and he was young during the end of the time frame.thr author mentioned, I believe.
Still. The draw is none of that shit he said. Different animals mirror or reflect humans in distinct ways. They have personalities and traits that we do. Horses reflect traits we see in ourselves as women that may not get enough expression due to gender box constraints.
For example, horses are incredibly sensual. But girls are often shamed for their sensuality. Rubbing down a horse just the right way and vicariously taking delight in the pleasure they feel is an outlet for what is denied them.
