In Chosen By a Horse, Susan Richards described the transformative power of the love an abused horse, Lay Me Down. In that book another horse often made her presence known—a spirited, spoiled Morgan named Georgia, who plays an important part in this earlier story. At 31, Richards realized that she was an alcoholic. She wrote it down in her journal, struck by the fact that it had taken nine years of waking up hungover to name her illness. What had changed? "It had something to do with Georgia," she writes. "It had something to do with making a commitment as enormous as caring for a horse that might live as my companion for the next 40 years. It had something to do with love." Every day with Georgia, Susan lives a little more and thinks about her mistakes a little less. Every day she learns a little more from a horse who doesn't go in for indecision, who doesn't apologize for her opinions, and who isn't afraid to be herself.
