Editorial Reviews: Product Description 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.

Customer Reviews: Read 114 more reviews... a wonderful story September 2, 2008 A wonderful story abut the impact that "Lay Me Down", a formerly abused horse has on the book's heroine and the other people and creatures that "Lay Me Down" interacts with. Be prepared for tears,but definitely a worthwhile read. Touching Memoir August 26, 2008 This book is a gutsy look at a hard life, and at the same time a moving story of a horse/owner relationship most of us will only dream of. Definitely a book for adults (not for horse-loving teens), it describes coming to terms with a difficult life in middle years, and how the past can be overcome, no matter how tough. It's a lovely story, told with honesty and courage. Susan Richards' horses are described so vividly as to seem like human characters. A book to be read alongside a box of Kleenex. Not what I expected or hoped it would read. August 4, 2008 Based on other reader's comments, I purchased this book in anticipation of a great story. Somewhat disappointed and expected much more. Would not recommend purchasing; borrow from a friend or library. Heart-warming June 23, 2008 A fast & easy read. A touching and heart-warming story. It is pleasing to to know that when others don't care about the welfare of animals that there are others who do. This is such a story. As an owner of several adopted animals, they have given me so much more than what I give them. Honest Book June 17, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful Well written book about a horse and it's new owner. Both have issues and learn to overcome them. If you like horses, you'll enjoy this book.
