Horse Crazy: The Story of a Woman and a World in Love with an Animal by Sarah Maslin Nir

4.0

Sarah Maslin Nir is an acclaimed journalist, Pulitzer Prize finalist, and a lover of horses. Nir has lived a fascinating life, traveling the world as a journalist and taking the time to track down the horses in each of the places that she visited. Her stories are funny, heart-warming, filled with little known facts about horses and include a timely discussion about racism and some of the white-washing that has happened in our country's history. Her stories allowed me to relive my youth, filled with Breyer horses and reading Misty of Chincoteague, and to live vicariously through her many other courageous adventures. I was captivated by her bravery and doggedness and was touched by her openness and vulnerability. Every horse lover should read this story but you don't need to be a horse lover to appreciate it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
