When she agrees to take on one of the abused horses just rescued by the local SPCA, a new chapter opens in Susan Richards'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 Susan'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.

Wonderful Read !
This is a wonderful story but more - it is so well written ...you laugh, you cry ..all the emotions that make a book memorable are here. The author is a single woman in her 40s and she makes that so real, poignant yet funny as can be. Lay Me Down, the heroine horse, is also drawn so beautifully you really feel you have met her. There is just nothing about this wonderful story and this amusing and amazing author that I can find fault with. I know I will re-read this book over and over for any tiny morsel I missed !

A Wonderful Story...
Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards is a wonderful read. The story she tells is inspirational, at times humorous, and very heart rendering. A story of courage, determination, and compassion, you will think about the message in this book long after you have read it.
