Review by: Tressa Mancini on Sep. 01, 2012 : (no rating)
For the preson who does not know anything about horses, this is a great book! The athor draws on real life experience and incorpates that all throughout. She also brings up issues that most authors won't think of, or won't know to think of!

The book was also easy to read - one section slid into the other beautifully.

I was however a bit disappointed with how brief each section is. I would have liked more then an overview of each point. Also, if one has experience with horses or knowledge of them, one will find this book to cover what one already knows.

However, for the horse illiterate novelist, this is a great resource!
