Why read it?
1 author picked Only My Horses Know as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The healing power of horses is used nowadays in formal equine therapy, but young people have always known their horses could nurture them.

Horses provide a wonderful way for readers to come to terms with such a complex topic. I love the premise that horses help kids to cope with human difficulties.
From Troon's list on brave kids and horses.
