I started reading this book but stopped after the first few chapters. There were too many terms about horses that I didn't understand and couldn't find in a dictionary, so I didn't really know what the author was talking about. Someone who is a horse afficiado or doesn't care about the definitions of words would probably enjoy this book.

This is a charming and well-written story. It's predictable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The book follows a woman, her parents, her daughter and her parents' riding center. It tells a complex and heart-warming story.

An earlier book by the author of Water for Elephants. This is a much more simple book, but I enjoyed it as I love horses, and show jumping in particular. So any horse lovers out there will particlarly enjoy this.

If you liked any part of the book The Horse Whisperer, then you will definitely like this book. It is based on a similar scenario but the building of suspense, combined with the internal twists and turns within the book, keep you turning each page and you don't want to put the book down. Definitely a weekend read when you have time to read the whole book! I was quite impressed and will be looking for other Sara Gruen books now!

Very good book. Very touching and heartbreaking at the same time. Read this book in one day because I had to find out how it ended.
