Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards

4.0

I liked this memoir of a woman's experience rescuing an abused, former racer, Standardbred trotter. Her descriptions of horse-related things were well done; they neither bored a "horse person" nor left a "non horse person" in the dark. The story itself was very touching, if predictable. However, I hated how Richards openly and gladly regales the reader with stories of how her other mare, Georgia, pushes her around and acts like such a brat...not great horse training!

I wasn't convinced that Richards was really a changed person at the end of the story, so I don't know if the horse really "healed a broken heart". (Not Lay Me Down anyway...Georgia, probably.)
