About this listen

 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.©2006 Susan Richards (P)2007 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

A beautiful story of love and loss

I recently said goodbye to my dog of almost 11 years and struggling with grief. I chose this book because of my love of horses and it popped up with a Google search. I only read the reviews and not the description so I didn't know how fitting this story would be.

Loved it! made me laugh and cry.

From beginning to end it was engaging and made me feel like I was part of the story. Phenomenal performance as well. I felt like it was "her" story!

A must read for the horse lover

Excellent book and storytelling. Well worth your time. It’s like the horse books from your youth only now for a grown person.

oh my word

This book is beautiful and touching. A testament to the resiliency of humans and animals alike. So well written, both touching and thought provoking with a sweet balance of humor. Highly recommend.

A beautiful, healing story

I so enjoyed this skillfully told story - it was honest, beautiful and hopeful... A must listen even if you are not yet fond of horses...
