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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Simply beautifulThis book is so well-written, and so compelling, that you need to be prepared to read it in one session. Last night I fully intended to watch election returns all night and savor every moment, but I could not tear myself away from this book. It is a given that paeans to the great animals that changed our lives will end sadly, so I am not giving away any plot points. Animals do not live forever, and neither do people. It was crushing that the health problem that led to Lay Me Down's ... Read More Rating: - Chosen by a HorseAnyone who loves horses will also love this book! The author perfectly describes the personalities of her horses, and she weaves a lesson of personal growth into a moving story about an abused horse. It's great! Rating:  - How About the HORSE'S Pain?This is a moving story, and one which Richards tells well. Richards captures both the intensity of our love for our animals, and the pain we suffer at the ephemerality of their lives. The problem here is that Richards is essentially concerned with her own pain, her own suffering, her own vision of "knowing" when her beautiful horse Lay Me Down should be allowed to go. And her own vision of the appropriate time may be tragically mistaken. Lay Me Down has a grotesquely invasive brain tumor. ... Read More Rating: - Great book.Very heart warming. The effect this horse has on her is just what they needed. Highly recommended. Rating: - Beautiful SimplicityThis book was an amazingly beautiful story about the love and courage a pet owner shares with their pet. I loved the simplicity of the story. It was very engaging. I laughed, I cried, and I found myself wishing I could own a horse. Animals are amazing. It's a story of love for animals, for yourself and others. Loved it.
