Personal, funny, and earnest, the essays in Horse Girls offer new perspectives on the meaning of the term—often used derisively and one-dimensionally— via the experiences of “horse girls” from many backgrounds. Contributors Halimah Marcus, Rosebud Ben-Oni, Allie Rowbottom, and self-described “Texpat” Sarah Enelow-Snyder talk about the stereotypes and gather to redefine the term.

Contributor Courtney Maum will no longer be able to join the panel.
