Northwest Horse Source Publisher’s Review
“This is a fun read. I love Michelle’s stories of her life’s journey with horses. It’s funny, endearing, and offers some great advice. Her photo-story towards the end of the book is especially cute. This book is special to me as I went to high school with Michelle, and her father was my English teacher. A relatable read I recommend to all horse lovers.” –Karen Pickering
