Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards (2006, Hardcover)

Great story! Easy reading! The book was well worth the purchase! Would recomment this book to anyone who loves horses!

I wanted my own copy of thi s book because I loved this true story about a horse. How an abused horse helped heal a broken heart.

This book was recommended to me by a neighbor, and owner of 7 horses. She warned me about having a box of Kleenex. She was right. This is the most loving, poignant story of a relationship between a woman and her horses. I couldn't put it down. Got it out of the library about 9 am and had it read by 3 pm. Turned right around and bought my own copy. Intending to give it to another neighbor and animal lover. I have decided to keep this copy for myself. This book will make you laugh at times and cry at times. Even if you're not an animal lover you will enjoy this book. As I got toward the end of the book I left the room. My husband was sitting in their watching tv. I knew I was going to cry and I also knew that he would just give me this funny face. I guess I am too sentimental. But, please get this book, even if you are sentimental. Great story!!

Beautifully written and goes right to the heart for animal lovers! The author really knows how to tell a story beautifully.

I am not a " horse" person and bought this book as a gift for a friend who just fell off one of the two horses that she owns, when she was trying to have it make a jump. It caught it's foot on the hurdle and she was thrown to the ground and severely injured her head. This is an old horse and beloved by the whole family. The husband built a small barn to house it, in view of their house. Even put in windows so the horse and another one that they bought to keep her company had something to look at when they were inside.

I started to look the book over and then found that I couldn't put it down. Detailed information is given on the care given to the horse in the book, it's relationship to the other three horses it lives with, their habits and medical care that is available to such a sick animal. But most touching is the realationship that devlopes between the horse and her owner and the owner's friends. A very moving book and if it moved me, I'm sure it would be of great interest to those with more knowledge and interest in horses.
