 thin, but fascinating November 7, 2008

I was expecting more from this little book - i'm not sure what - i think it may be the briskness of the canter through the story that disappointed me as i prefer more reflective reads. it's a great story though and people who love horses will find it interesting. for those of us who ride and who have bought and sold horsey friends and enemies over the years it's doubly interesting. but it is kind of like a gossipy newspaper piece that you gobble down with toast and tea and then feel you don't really have a need to read ever again... still, simon barnes' capable journalistic style and lifetime of experience make it worth a look, and it couldn't be a more ideal stocking present for a horsey chum.
 Just wish it had been longer! September 23, 2008

When I read the extract in the Times I knew I wanted to read the book. And I read it in one sitting and loved every word. If you are a horse owner/rider/lover this book will resonate with you..it says what you know but better and it makes you think. It interpreted a lot of my unacknowledged feelings and experiences of horses in a way that I found not just hugely entertaining but also very helpful. It's a tender, funny, insightful book and you just want Simon on your yard because you know he'd be the best fun!
