Summary
When she agrees to take on one of the abused horses just rescued by the local SPCA, a new chapter opens in Susan Richard’s difficult life. She lost her mother at the age of five and was raised by uncaring relatives; she married unhappily and divorced; and she’d been an alcoholic. Now, at the age of forty-three, she lives with three horses who keep her company: the diva-like Georgia, boyish Tempo and hopelessly romantic Hotshot. While trying to capture another horse assigned to her, Lay Me Down, a skeletal mare, walks into Susana’s horse trailer of her own volition. When Susan agrees to take her, she begins to forge a special, healing relationship that alters her life. Poignant and evocative, this is a book for anyone who has ever loved a horse, and for everyone who has ever lost a loved one.

Critics Review
“This is an inspirational story of what family means, and what the loss of one can do to us, and for us” - Boston Globe; “Chosen by a Horse contains several extraordinary action sequences…. It also has moments of great silence and stillness…. I’ll never forget Lay Me Down or Hotshot” - Newsday; “A tender lesson in courage and dependence.” - Kirkus Reviews; “Two kindred spirits find each other in this beautifully written memoir about the human-animal bond.” - Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation
