Horsewomen

Last Saturday, Cienfuegos played at Central Market North. While I was there,
I danced with Illiana, who runs a horse stable north of Austin, where she offers
equine therapy for autistic children. It seems a special affinity exists between 

autistic children and horses. There are several equine therapy centers in the U.S.,
and Illiana, along with several other women, provide training seminars in cities
across the country. 

About half way through our dance, I leaned over and remarked: 

 “It must be hard for a horsewoman to be led around the dance floor like this.” 

She nodded yes, and replied:   “This is why I tell the other women at the stable 

they need to take dance lessons, so they can learn what being led feels like to a horse.”
