Horse Crazy, Women and the Horses they Love
|
Company: written by A. Bronwyn Llewellyn
There are so many books available to horse lover's that consist of a collection of short stories. For example, "Chicken Soup for the Horse's Lover's Soul" comes to mind... "Horse Crazy" is just another collection of horse-centric short stories.
This book, is literature junk-food. Pleasant, but not exactly nurishment for the mind. At 210 pages it's a breezy read. Being a collection of stories you can pick it up and down at will, never loosing a step. Probably best for leaving by the bedside to read before you go to bed or in the bathroom.
One quote from the book that tickled me was the description of a horse's natural temperament, "When afraid, a horse runs - unless there is something scary on his back. In that case, he tries to buck it off, and then he runs."
