Grand Theft Horse by G. Neri
3.0
This is the true story of a woman who bought a race horse with another person - but that person was a lawyer and he brought in a number of other people without telling her and changed the terms of their agreement, resulting in disaster for both her and the horse. In order to save the horse from the cruel treatment and from bodily harm, she "stole" him (he was 20% hers after all) and took him to a safe place. The other owners then took her to court and took away her training license and her livelihood, costing them much more than the price of the horse itself.
A fascinating story with a horrifying look at the cruelty inherent in the world of horse racing. Personally, I wasn't fond of the sepia tones used for the illustrations, but it worked. A good story but won't jump of the shelves; will need to be hand sold most likely. People do need to read this - and something needs to be done about this issue!
3.5 stars
