The Truth About
Women and Horses     

YEE-HAW!  Grab onto your hats and take a wild ride through  topics of love, sex, death, beauty, aging, and more as seen    through the eyes of 11 unforgettable characters and their horses.  You'll laugh, cry, and be disturbed in full measure as you enter the crazy, profound and daring mind of award winning playwright, Nancy Conger.

 Meet a retired teacher who trades in her car for a horse to start living sustainably. The driver of a rendering truck, Sandy Wurm, picks up dead horses for a living and gives us her matter-of-fact views about death. The gawky 15-year-old grooming her Arabian is confronted with her own prejudice around beauty, the very prejudice that’s used against her at school. A Saddlebred rider grooms herself for the competition, ruminating on trading in her 16-year-old horse for a younger, fresher one, even as she fights her own aging. A horse-whisperer gently gains the trust of a severely abused horse, mirroring how we help women heal from violence. A seven-year-old reminds us of the confidence and power of young girls as she charges around on her stick horse and makes plans to buy a pony with her $318.50.  Meet these characters and more!
