The author of "She Had Some Horses" is representing a female speaker reconciling contradictory personal feelings about men.  She is saying that she has had some men that have been good to her and others that have not treated her kindly.  The poem is about the different types of men that the author has had in her life and the "horses" represent "men."  This poem shows a woman's despair when it comes to a man.  I believe that the horses are male. The author is a woman and the end suggests that they are men by saying that they had raped her.  There are many lines that contradict themselves.  For example, one line say that she had horses who had no names and horses with books of names.  This suggests that her feelings weren't completely negative as the feeling of the poem gives a negative vibe

"She had horses who danced in their mothers' arms.

She had horses who thought they were the sun and their

bodies shone and burned like stars.

She had horses who waltzed nightly on the moon.

She had horses who were much too shy, and kept quiet

in stalls of their own making."

This stanza represents a feminist sensibility. The last lines of the poem help to provide a resolution. I was confused as to whether or not the horses represented men until the last line when it says, "she had horses who tried to sve her, who climbed in her bed at night and prayed as they raped her."  This suggests that the horses in the poem were men that treated her unjustly.  This poem is the author's way of expressing the hurt but also the love that she has experienced.
