Rendition Toward Books Chosen by a Horse

The horse Susan Richards chose for rescue wouldn’t be corralled into her waiting trailer. Instead Lay Me Down, a former racehorse with a foal close on her heels, walked right up that ramp and into Susan’s life. This gentle creature—malnourished, plagued by pneumonia and an eye infection—had endured a rough road, but somehow her heart was still open and generous. It seemed fated that she would come into Susan’s paddock and teach her how to embrace the joys of life despite the dangers of living. An elegant and often heartbreaking tale filled with animal characters as complicated and lively as their human counterparts, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope and the ways in which all love—even an animal’s—has the power to heal.

Criticize Out Of Books Chosen by a Horse

A sweet story (view spoiler)[ the horse dies at the end. (somewhat typical for this genre, so it's not a surprise or a spoiler!) (hide spoiler)] Nice to get a glimpse into equine lives again, and remember how crazy horse people are. Case in point, Georgia is kind of a bitch and SR admits that if Georgia was a human, SR would hate her! And yet, because Georgia is a horse, SR loves her without reservation! *laughs* I suppose horse people have a good kind of crazy. :)A major disappointment for me

Is it just me, or are Friesians now the only horses who are allowed in movies or to grace book covers? The titular horse in Chosen by a Horse is a Standardbred. The horse on the cover, though lovely with its long mane and forelock, is a Friesian. (Or maybe a very dark Andalusian, it's hard to tell.) I guess Standardbreds aren't showy enough for book covers.Susan Richards's writing is engaging and her descriptions of all things horsey, is dead on. But this memoir, nevertheless, falls short.First,

She was only five years old when she was given her first horse. Her grandmother had given it to her and its name was Bunty. From that moment on, Susan Richardss love for horses would be equaled only by her love for books and writing. Horses, like books, were Susans escape from a world filled with abuse, betrayal, and loss. For the first time in her memory, her life now was happy on her farm with her three horses. But on a cold March day, Susan received an urgent call from the SPCA asking for

I have never owned a horse and I have only rode on one a handful of times in my life, but I love them. Not a school girl infatuation love, just a heart and soul kind of love. The cover appealed to me so I added this to my TBR and it remained for years until I found a copy at Goodwill. This is a memoir of Richards' divorce and the ongoing grief she feels at the loss of her mother at age five. She is shuffled between relatives that don't show much love or compassion to her. So when Richards finds

I cried. Not going to lie, if my mom hadn't been in the same room as me, I probably would have been bawling with a baby. Now I want to say why (it could have been happy crying, it could have been sad crying, it could have been both) so, you are officially warned that there are probably going to be spoilers contained in this review...Chosen by a Horse is an amazing novel whether or not you're a horse or animal lover. It may touch those of us who have loved and owned animals a little more, but

Horses...once you get bitten by the 'horse -virus', you can't imagine them out of your life. This book touched me by the heart and I'm dissapointed for waiting so long to read it. It's proven again that these fantastic creatures have the power to change your life, most of the time without knowing that of yourself that they are doing it.This book is about the author herself, Susan, who learns to deal with her grieve of loosing her mother, of being never wanted and of knowing no love as a child

This is a bittersweet tale, beautifully written and edited. It had nothing extra. What may have taken a year or two to write, took just an evening to read. It exhibited, for me, a very affirming personality. A woman who'd knocked about (read: been knocked about) a bit, but who shows us the best of the human condition: love, integrity, generosity, acceptance, humor.I loved reading of the horses, because she has such long experience handling them, and of Cornell, certainly one of the most
