Reviews

[Elisabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

It features a few lovely poems here and there, but many of the poems actually just mention a horse and aren't necessarily about horses. So I'd say it's more of a 2.5 than a 3 for me.

Some lovely written poems in this little book, but also some I didn’t care so much for.

This healed my inner horse girl

[Chloe · Rating 5 out of 5]

And about horses it was! I loved this collection! The thematic organization felt like I was trotting along through a history of horses, a tale of fundamentally divine wildness that remains so reliably steady in its practicality that if God redid the resurrection making an ephemeral equine to teach of eternity, perhaps we would retain the sense of endless pasture without the desire to trample it. Power and muscle and strength enough to use it all to carry the loads of others. Horse girl 4 lyfe <3
