To Finish Is to Win: One Woman's Riding Adventures

by Dodie Sable

Are you totally obsessed with horses? Or want to be? This book takes you deep into one rider's life behind the glamorous scenes of the televised equine world into the dirt, grit, grime and fun of endurance and competitive trail riding. It's a fresh look at the thrill of being part of a sport that is rarely heard of and never televised. The spunk and tenacity of the riders and their horses sparks a thrill in any reader, begging them to go out and buy a horse, a beat up saddle and get started on their own thrilling adventure. This book, part one in a series, encompasses the riding years of 2005 and 2006. Quickly addictive, a warning label should be attached to the outside binder letting the readers know that they should beware of the humor, fun and giggles contained inside. If you have no interest in rolling on the floor in gut busting laughter, you should not engage in reading this book.

The authors excessive use of all-caps was annoying. Also, I was quite put-off by a so-called horse professional who rides barefoot while conditioning her horses. That and other incidents aside, It was an entertaining read.
