Horse Crazy: The Story of a Woman and a World in… door Sarah Maslin Nir
A novel way to tell a story, an eclectic mix of personal experience, interesting horse facts, and crazy, over the top love for these animals. It made for a good read.
Ohhhh..... this book reached right into my chest and grabbed my heart....my 5 year old little girl heart, my 12 year old pre-teen heart and the junior- senior citizen heart that i now have! I'm the one who cut out pictures of this animal, to glue into a notebook. ( my bestie did the same for dogs !)
No, i never owned a horse. In fact, I've ridden just once. Sneakers, bareback, and simply walking.... i was proud as hell when the owner told my father i was a natural!
Did Sarah Nir write this memoir with me in mind? It seemed like it, but no. She wrote it for the millions of girls who grew up horse crazy tho. For all of us who read this book in gulps! Her worldwide travels and the horses and the people she came to know along the way are enviable.
This author has the guts and intelligence i wish i had, mixed in with the self-doubt i do have. Maybe it accounts for why her writing is so relatable?
So as i sit here looking around at my paintings of this magnificent animal, that decorate my living room, i must thank Sarah for sharing with the rest of us!… (meer)

I found some fascinating information in this book. It is interspersed with the author's story of her life. This is a common thing these days it seems. I haven't decided how I feel about it. I can see it is an interesting way to approach a topic, but I am often more interested in the subject itself and not so much in the author's life. Overall very interesting. I would recommend it.
