Horse Crazy: Girls and the Lives of HorsesHorse 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.

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.

Vibrant Results and Great Value!
Size: 13"*19", Color: 150 sheets
HTVRONT Sublimation Paper 13x19 inches – 150 Sheets Review I recently purchased the HTVRONT Sublimation Paper (13x19 inches, 150 sheets, 120g) and I’m genuinely impressed with the results! As someone who does a lot of sublimation printing for both personal and small business projects, I found this paper to be a fantastic choice. Pros: Excellent Print Quality: The colors transfer beautifully and vibrantly onto my blanks. Images come out crisp and true to the original design. Generous Size: The 13x19 inch sheets are perfect for larger projects like T-shirts, tote bags, and even custom pillowcases. It’s great not having to piece together smaller sheets. Easy to Use: The paper feeds smoothly through my inkjet printer with no jams or smudging. Instructions were clear, making the process straightforward even for beginners. Consistent Results: Every sheet in the pack performed consistently, with no noticeable defects or wasted paper. Value for Money: With 150 sheets in the pack, it’s a great deal for the price, especially for anyone who does frequent sublimation work. Cons: Requires Sublimation Ink: Just a reminder that you’ll need sublimation ink for best results (not regular inkjet ink). Storage: The large size means you’ll need a bit of space to store the pack, but that’s a minor issue. Overall: I highly recommend the HTVRONT Sublimation Paper for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality results. It’s perfect for both hobbyists and small business owners. I’ll definitely be purchasing again!

Excellent Sublimation Paper – Perfect Prints Every Time!
Size: 8.5"*11", Color: 150 sheets
This sublimation paper is fantastic! It’s high-quality and works perfectly with my sublimation printer. The prints come out vibrant, sharp, and transfer beautifully onto mugs, shirts, and other materials without smudging or fading. The paper is easy to handle, doesn’t jam in the printer, and holds the ink well for a clean transfer. I’ve tried other brands before, but this one consistently gives professional-looking results. Definitely a must-have for anyone doing sublimation printing!

This paper prints beautifully!
Size: 8.5"*11", Color: 150 sheets
Great sublimation paper. I usually use A Sub but ordered this because it delivered faster, and now this is the paper I’ll be using! It prints wonderfully! The ink release is amazing! There’s hardly any ink left in the paper and my shirts look incredible. The paper is a great weight and doesn’t jam at all. If you’ve been disappointed with your sub print quality, give this paper a try. You won’t be disappointed!
