So many lessons to learn from horses

I loved this book so much! I laughed, cried, and thought so many deep thoughts while reading this beautifully written memoir. We make life's simple lessons so complicated. Leave it to the animals to teach us about humanity!

poorly written, and a bit preposterous.

I thought this story was disappointing. I couldn't relate to the woman at all. It's one thing to love animals and quite another to be obsessed with them.

    Chosen by a Horse is a must have!!

    I could not put this book down. It is written beautifully. I recommend it to horse lovers and non-horse lovers. I'm now reading Chosen Forever.

    This book changed my life!

    I love this book! It truly made me look at my life and be honest with myself about what I wanted. I was a lot like Susan, terrified of relationships, but hearing her story and understanding her bond made me look at my life a lot closer. Like Susan, I was able to have an amazing realtionship with a horse named Marley. I definately recommend this for anyone struggling with relationships, but also anyone who loves horses and understands or wants to understand the amazing bond between human and horse! I cant wait to read the next two books!

    A Must Read for Animal Lovers

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book about the special relationship between a woman and a horse who captured her heart. The story is proof that animals can be good for the soul. I wanted to read the book quickly but didn't want it to end. Now I'm looking forward to reading "Chosen Forever."

    Great Read!

    I could not put this book down! It will make you laugh and cry! I love horses which helped me to relate to Susan Richards, but I lent this book to my sister who is not a horse person and she also loved it! Must Read!

    Touching & moving

    Loved this book (and Richards other book, Saddled). Great author, wonderfully written. Amazing how when we rescue an animal we end up being the ones saved!

    ????

    Could someone tell me what Dickens "A Christmas Carol" has to do with a book supposedly about a horse? It's in the synopsis. I would order the book but not if I'm going to receive a moldy old Dickens novel.

    Scrooge at Christmas

    This isn't good writing; it's about feeding off sentimentality. The writer needs to grow up and get over herself. This is Harlequin in muddy boots, and unlike romance novels, it's pretending to be something it isn't. Her horses are wonderful, beautiful animals, but they aren't about her, any more than the book is about them.

    Wow!!

    "Chosen By A Horse" was one of the best books I have ever read. The way Susan Richards tells her story makes you feel the pain she feels. This book really hit home with me because I am a horse lover and have lost a horse and I know how painful it is! The story itself is amazing and makes you wonder about your own life and how maybe we take for granted of all the things that we just expect that we have, like a partner, love and many other things. Reading this book literally brought me to tears. There is so much imagery and attention to detail in the writing, it feels as though you are watching this story unfold in front of your eyes and you're actually there! You can tell that Susan Richards poured her heart into this book and I would really reccomend this book to anybody who wants a great read that will touch you deeply

    Make time for a excellent book

    get your box of kleenex out, a tear jerker and heart wrenching book. Couldnt put it down until the last page. A must read for horse lovers

    more from this reviewer

    Anyone who loves horses . . .

    Would love this book. I found it engrossing and very well written. If you love horses (or just one horse) you will not be able to put this book down. A few tears will stain the pages, but it'll be worth it!
