Summary

The horse Susan Richards chose for rescue wouldn't be corralled into her waiting trailer. Instead, Lay Me Down, a former racehorse with a foal close on her heels, walked right up that ramp and into Susan's life. This gentle creature, malnourished, plagued by pneumonia and an eye infection, had endured a rough road, but somehow her heart was still open and generous. It seemed fated that she would come into Susan's paddock and teach her how to embrace the joys of life despite the dangers of living.

I'm gonna listen Susan Richards books again

It's lovely & heart touching book! I was searching a book to listen without understanding what exactly Im looking for. So I just scrolled around and decided to listen to my feeling and to make my choice according to that. First I found Chosen Forever & while listening it I found it to be a book I have been wishing to listen. After this I couldn't wait to listen Chosen by a horse. While listening I hoped this book will never end. I also enjoyed very mutch Lorna Raver reading it & her voice.
Horses have been in my life friends, companions, healers, motivators, support, teachers and also inspiration for art since childhood.
Im happy & thankful Chosen by a Horse found a publisher & it is here at Audible. Glad I found her books! Beautiful!

Loved it!

If you could sum up Chosen by a Horse in three words, what would they be?

Three words wouldn't be enough. It was a beautiful tale of a women finding a horse and herself over a number of years. It was an honest and beautifully revealing journey that didn't dwell on the trials and tribulations, but chose to see the majesty and opportunity for progression.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

What made the book for me was the authors honest appraisal of her tough journey and the human capacity to learn and move forward. Also, the story was engaging throughout.

Any additional comments?

The best narration I've heard. The intonations were heartfelt and carried you through all the emotions of the story

Beautiful story with fitting narration

Beautiful story of healing from trauma, down to earth and touching story. The narrator's voice was very fitting, I thought.
