Chosen by a Horse: How a Broken Horse Fixed a Broken Heart, is a memoir by Susan Richards. Richards writes of opening her heart up to love again after taking in an abused horse named Lay Me Down.

This is an honest, sometimes heartbreaking tale of how one wounded, yet kindhearted horse helped a wounded woman heal. It is a good story, but as Richards is often not very likable, it was hard for me to care as much as I wanted to about her story. However, she cares deeply for her horses and Lay Me Down was a special horse indeed.

A good read for horse lovers.
