War Horses -- Review of Horse Sluts 3/7/2018
"Their tips for new riders will make even the most seasoned horsewoman burst out laughing. They coin clever phrases that will cause a reader to wish she had thought of them, make profound observations about what they’ve learned along the way, and share touching and sometimes somber anecdotes."
"My Aunt lives in a assisted nursing home. Of course she is the 'youngest' there :) So I sent her your book 'Horse Sluts' , and she got the biggest thrill by carrying the book around for all to see. She just giggled and giggled." SBH 1/2018
"My girlfriends Up North in Michigan took your book with them camping, read out loud around camp fire at night! Drinking wine and reading "Horse Sluts" out loud! They laughed so hard they were crying!" CB Love 9/8/2017
