A Nostalgic Look Back and a Celebration of the Soul-saving Power of Horses
Farfetched Farm: Riding, Girlhood and a Lifelong Love Affair with Horses aims to illuminate a past era and explain the power of a lifelong equestrian obsession.
Are some people born with an obsessive love of horses? Can a horse break your heart – or save your life? And does a crazy “horse girl” ever grow out of it, or will riding maintain its addictive power throughout one’s life?
These are just a few of the questions that Farfetched Farm: Riding, Girlhood and a Lifelong Love Affair with Horses, a new memoir from Northern California native and lifelong equestrian Aimee Wells, aims to address.
The coming-of-age tale follows Aimee’s life as a self-professed “forever horse girl” growing up in the late 1970s for whom riding — along with a tribe of fellow horse-crazy kids and a series of beloved equine partners — helped her navigate school bullying, loneliness and the turbulence of her parent’s divorce. Farfetched Farm is both a look back in time to a golden era of horse shows and equestrian life, and a celebration of the magical, enduring love for horses that can transform one’s life.
