Synopsis
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.

Reviews
Social worker and horse enthusiast Richards adopts a malnourished, mistreated mare and her foal, an act that changes Richards’ life in many ways. Despite mistreatment, the former racehorse is trusting and affectionate, and caring for the horse and her foal teaches Richards the value of courage and unconditional love. Raver reads this memoir in a conversational style. She uses somewhat wary and cynical tones to represent Richards; these tones seem especially humorous when Richards is interacting with a potential suitor. Raver sounds more anguished and bewildered during confrontations concerning the horses’ medical problems. Raver’s voice seems older than the author’s; this is a minor quibble in an otherwise poignant reading. A sure bet for animal lovers. --Kaite Mediatore Stover
