“When Susan Richards writes about horses and the interactions of the people involved with them, she brilliantly captures the characters, equine and human.”—Maxine Kumin

Strong, startling, funny—these stories are rich in their feeling for the human, natural, and sometimes supernatural world of Kentucky.
