The horse Susan Richards chose for rescue wouldn’t be corralled into her waiting trailer. Instead Lay Me Down, a former racehorse with a foal close on her heels, walked right up that ramp and into Susan’s life. This gentle creature—malnourished, plagued by pneumonia and an eye infection—had endured a rough road, but somehow her heart was still open and generous.

An elegant and often heartbreaking tale filled with animal characters as complicated and lively as their human counterparts, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope and the ways in which all love—even an animal’s—has the power to heal.

    Wonderfully written memoir of the loss of a beloved animal. Richards echoes my own feelings about fear in regards to the animal-owner relationship. It is refreshing to see that appreciation for the trust and love an animal is capable of giving. Truly a sad tale that will make you cry but also a story that will open up your heart.
