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.



An elegant and often heartbreaking tale filled with animal characters as complicated and lively as their human counterparts, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope and the ways in which all love—even an animal’s—has the power to heal.

Discuss Epithetical Books Chosen by a Horse

I so didn't want to like this book; didn't want to condone the soft-hearted, tree-hugger anthropomorphizing that went on about how horses view their lives; didn't want to be manipulated into feeling bad for the situation of a sick rescue horse. Of course, my resolve lasted just as long as it took for the "real" story to come out. You know the one: the real story where horses have this uncanny way of unlocking the emotions we humans think we've so cleverly tucked away - the way we identify all

I have always loved horses and have wanted one of my own for years. That being said when I saw this book in the animal section of Barnes and Noble and read the description I bought it. I expected it to be a good story, a nice story but, I was not expecting to love it as much as I did. The relationship between "Lay Me Down" ( the horses name) and her owner is just beautiful. the most beautiful part to me is how two beings both so broken can help each other grow and heal and become better for

This is a sweet story with sections of good writing and lucidity. Overall, the author allows herself too many repetitive moments of self-indulgence. Even a memoir should be allowed to unfold with subtlety and more "showing" than "telling." That being said, the ending is clear, creative and poignant.

I cried. Not going to lie, if my mom hadn't been in the same room as me, I probably would have been bawling with a baby. Now I want to say why (it could have been happy crying, it could have been sad crying, it could have been both) so, you are officially warned that there are probably going to be spoilers contained in this review...Chosen by a Horse is an amazing novel whether or not you're a horse or animal lover. It may touch those of us who have loved and owned animals a little more, but

THIS BOOK IS SO BEAUTIFULLY SAD. I CAN RELATE TO THE AUTHOR ON SO MANY LEVELS IT'S ALMOST SCARY. IT'S A STORY ABOUT A HORSE, HORSES AND ONE WOMAN'S LIFE IN THIS WORLD. I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY ANIMAL LOVER. IF I COULD WRITE ELOQUENT REVIEWS I WOULD DO THAT HERE AND ON MANY BOOKS. HAPPY READING!

This memoir tugs at the heart. While more about the author than the rescued horse (I expected it to be the other way around), I'm very glad I read it.

Wow....I read this well within 48 hours.What a wonderful story devoted to the power of love. Lay Me Down enabled Susan to openly explore her personal history. In doing so this beautiful horse gave Susan the opportunity to work upon her issues. Lay Me Down in a sense gave Susan her life back.I loved Georgia and empathised as to why Susan did and I have to confess that from the very start I loathed Hank.I am currently saving for my own horse and cannot wait for the day that I begin the sacred
