Book Reviews of The Hearts of Horses
Book Review: A Gentle Horse Gentler
Summary: 5 Stars
From the moment this shy, young woman beds down in a horse barn and rearranges a tack room into sleeping quarters, I was hooked. I was captivated by the author's description of Martha's determination to gentle horses rather than the usual way, of wrestling, bucking and pretty much breaking the animal's spirit in order to ride it. I loved how the author found a way to entertwine the lives of the animals and people and her descriptions of the early 20th century life in rural Oregon when so many families were enduring hardships, and what it means for a young woman to do a man's work. I found the book hard to put down and was compelled to order a copy for a friend.
