Product Description

Review
"* 'Sometimes animal-lovers are fortunate to enough to bond with an animal so special that the relationship never fades - the animal dies but their influence and magic lives on. It's this magical relationship that Susan Richards writes about so beautifully... The bond between human and animal is conveyed with great sensitivity in this unforgettable story.' - Sue Baker, Publishing News * "This is an inspirational story of what family means, and what the loss of one can do to us, and for us." - Boston Globe * "Chosen by a Horse contains several extraordinary action sequences.... It also has moments of great silence and stillness.... I'll never forget Lay Me Down or Hotshot." - Newsday * 'A tender lesson in courage and dependence.' - Kirkus Reviews"

5.0 out of 5 stars For any horse lover out there!, 29 Jan 2007
By Ms. L. Harber "crocusfield" (Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chosen by a Horse: A Memoir (Hardcover)
What a beautifully written and heartfelt book - I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone who has ever owned a horse, or who just loves horses. Written with such emotion that I couldn't put it down and read it in just one day. Terrific!! You have to read it - you won't be sorry.

By J. A. JONES "jayne33a" (doncaster,england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chosen by a Horse: A Memoir (Hardcover)
What a moving book this was to read and fun too, couldn,t put it down.at times i felt that i was part of this woman and horse's journey together,having my own horse and a horse healer myself. there was tears and laughter while reading this book. the chapter of the foal with it's first encounter with the wheelbarrow made me chuckle to myself and thought how true that can be.cried and sobbed too.wont spoil why though,you must read the book to find out why!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chosen By a Horse, 29 Jun 2008
By C. Dawnay "Spogface" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was written with a true depth of emotion. It showed great love for a horse---a feeling I believe you can only experience if you have a horse of your own with a strong connection. When Lay Me Down was finally put to rest it brought tears to my eyes.
I would recommend this book to anyone with or without horses, it brings out the true feelings of love towards horses and what they can do for people.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expect to cry
