Remembering that thing where the horse-riding girls wore leather bracelets with a brass nameplate with the name of their horses
At Cornell I took a class on the history of American female adolescence with Joan "The Body Project" Brumberg. Ultimately she was more of a popular author than a scholar-educator, but she did at the time tease that her next book was gonna be "So What *Is* the Deal With Adolescent Girls and Horses, Anyway"
You say that like it's weird!
Ok, maybe it's weird.
Like, it’s a half-step away from walking into 7th grade and 3 of the girls in each class are collared by a horse.
