Horse Crazy explores the meaning behind the love between girls and horses. Jean O'Malley Halley, a self-professed "horse girl," contends that this relationship and its cultural signifiers influence the manner in which young girls define their identity when it comes to gender. Halley examines how popular culture, including the "pony book" genre, uses horses to encourage conformity to gender norms but also insists that the loving relationship between a girl and a horse fundamentally challenges sexist and mainstream ideas of girlhood.
Horse Crazy looks at the relationships between girls and horses through the frameworks of Michel Foucault's concepts of normalization and biopower, drawing conclusions about the way girls' agency is both normalized and resistant to normalization. Segments of Halley's own experiences with horses as a young girl, as well as experiences from the perspective of other girls, are sources for examination. "Horsey girls," as she calls them, are girls who find a way to defy the expectations given to them by society--thinness, obsession with makeup and beauty, frailty--and gain the possibility of freedom in the process. Drawing on Nicole Shukin's uses of animal capital theories, Halley also explores the varied treatment of horses themselves as an example of the biopolitical use of nonhuman animals and the manipulation and exploitation of horse life. In so doing she engages with common ways we think and feel about animals and with the technologies of speciesism.Binding Type: Paperback

Too damn small
Color: Black
Way too small for an adult. It doesn't even fit my 11 year old. Unfortunately I didn't open it immediately or I would have returned it. Now I'm stuck with something nobody in my house can use.

One size definitely doesn’t fit. Otherwise Ok.
Color: Black
OSFM - one size fits most. It should be OSFS - one size fits small/some. Measured my head size and according to their chart I’m l/XL. This cap is tight fitting and gives you a headache after an hour. Otherwise it’s fine. Keeps your head cool, is absorbent and works well under a helmet.

Feels refreshing on the head…
Color: Black
I purchased a few of these on UA application. However, when I decided to put some more the UA app was out of stock.
I love the skull caps!! I use them for the gym and for work. They’re very comfortable and outstanding if you’re in a hot environment, sweat a lot or just want to be cooler.
They haven’t slipped at all and it’s great value for what I spent!
So far I have seven in total. I may purchase three more shortly before summer hits that way I can use one at the gym and one at work per day and don’t have to worry about doing my laundry just to have clean skull caps.

The perfect sock!
Size: 6-10, Color: Halo Gray/Assorted
The only socks that I can wear with my hey dudes. They stay on my ankles and never slid down into the shoe. I will forever order these as long as they are available. They are comfy too!

Good option, especially in warmer weather
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
High quality socks and very durable. Nice touch adding the grip on the back of the ankle so the sock stays up. Size is a true fit to the size of your foot as well.
