From AudioFile:

There's a certain presence in a horsewoman, besides being passionate about horses. There's a rough edge, a capability, lots of color. Lorna Raver captures all these as she delivers Susan Richards's personal story. Raver reads at a good clip as she recounts the author's life--Richards's childhood and wild college years. Later parts of the book recount her recovery from alcoholism and an abusive marriage as well as her discovery of the joys of riding and writing. Raver carefully paces the sad illness and death of Richards's gentle rescue horse, Lay Me Down, an event that brings much understanding about her own life and early losses. Throughout Richards's story, Raver delivers authentic humor and emotions. S.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
