To Robin's delight the horses respond to her in surprising ways.The resulting story, Eat the Wind, is the compelling true account of a woman whose passion overcame her fears, and allowed for remarkable experiences and interactions with these intriguing animals.Eat the Wind shares the unconventional and evolving journey of transformation for both Robin and the wild horses...Humorous, tender, and inspirational, this story is chock-full of struggles and setbacks, chaos and triumph, and most importantly, tenacity, trust and love. Eat the Wind is an uplifting memoir you will never forget.
