Book - Beyond The Home Stretch - Lynn Reardon:"What I've Learned From Saving Racehorses"
| · a book that will lift your heart with joy · spirited stories of racehorses and their shift into new careers · a story of a journey of transition and new discoveries in self-awareness |
| A great read! You'll find this a lively, inside look into the world or horse racing and the insights we can gain when we reevaluate our relationship with them. The author, Lynn Reardon quit her Washington DC-area office job and moved to Texas to open the racehorse placement program LOPE (LoneStar Outreach to Place Ex-Racers). She has helped transition hundreds of ex-racehorses into new homes, even though she didn't learn to ride until she was an adult. What she didn't know when she started was that the horses would become her most memorable mentors in horsemanship and life philosophies, despite the vast array of equine personalities, from the unruly, and vivid personalities, to those with special needs, and unusual histories. The horses are the central focus of the book. It outlines how Lynn helped them make the shift to their new careers, and tells of their fascinating past racing careers, their spirited natures and gripping veterinary needs. In Beyond The Homestretch, she takes readers along for the ride - one filled with firey racehorses, off-beat horse people, colorful Texas culture clashes, veterinary melodramas and surprising Zen-like experiences. This is a book that will lift your heart with joy. Written for adults, but also suitable for young adolescents. Hardback book, 290 pages. Book dimensions: 6.5" x 9.25" x 1". Limited to Stock on Hand.
