Keep a box of tissues close by while you are reading this book.

I thought that this was a good book about a horse changing someones life. I could relate to it so much and i cried so hard in the end because i have had to do the same things (as the writer did) for some of my equine family. Have a big tissue box.

Very enjoyable. I laughed. I cried. It made me think about myself and my life. ... nice ...

I enjoyed reading this book because I could relate to her love and passion for her horses. It was very touching to read how this horse helped her personal growth.

Absolutely one of the best books I have EVER read! Shows the true love between us humans and animals. My situation is similar in that I just adopted an abused horse from our local shelter! She is turning out to be very special! I will keep this book forever and re-read it often!
