Book Description:

Set more than 6,000 years ago, She Who Rides Horses: A Saga of the Ancient Steppe (Book One) begins the story of Naya, the first person to ride a horse.

Daughter of a clan chief, bolder than other girls but shunned by the boys because of her unusual appearance, Naya wanders alone through the vast grasslands where her people herd cattle and hunt wild horses for their meat. But Naya dreams of creating a different kind of relationship with the magnificent creatures.

One day, she discovers a filly with a chestnut coat as uncommon as her own head of red hair. With time running out before she is called to assume the responsibilities of adulthood, Naya embarks on a quest to gallop with the red filly across the boundless steppe.

​Unwittingly, she sets in motion forces and events that will change forever the future of humans and horses alike.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

She Who Rides Horses: A Saga of the Ancient Steppe is the story the first person to ride a horse. Even though Naya's people ate the wild horses, she always dreamed of taming these beautiful horses to ride. Being the daughter of a clan chief, Naya is a little bolder than many hee age and I was sure hoping she would get her  riding horse.

Being set over 6,000 years ago, it was interesting to read about the people during that era and their lifestyles. I really didn't know much about the Steppe, what it was or where. I was very intrigued reading about this as well. I could really say I was intrigued and excited to read this entire historical fiction and learn many things I wasn't familiar with.

Sarah V. Barnes writes a compelling story that pulls at your heartstrings while you are reading her book. I love Naya and her determined and fiesty spirit. She Who Rides Horses is getting Five Stars from me. If you love historical fiction, horses and are intrigued by stories happening 6000 years ago, this is just the book for you. I can't wait to see what is next from this new to me author.
