“The lady rode despite the risks because it was in her to ride and because riding addressed her deepest yearnings. Riding swept her beyond the walls of the manor and into a greater natural world where she was free of all but the rhythm of the horse’s hooves on the earth. Riding carved a time of self-indulgence into her day and gave her an unconditionally loving friend with whom to spend it-her horse.”
