Review of SAVING NEVADA

Sarah Maury Swan, Author of several books, including Emily’s Ride to Courage, 2018

Lori Hayes knows a thing or two about horses, but she wrote this book about a horse experience she’s never had. She tells the story of a woman, Haley, who wanted to train a wild mustang newly captured from the western mountains.

 Haley asked for a docile mare but ended up with the fiercest horse at the auction. Even getting the mare home was a challenge because of a surprise snowstorm and then the loss of a wheel on the trailer. But with a stranger’s help and Haley’s husband’s calmness, they make it home safely.

Feeling the angst of the horse and trainer as they begin to bond, the reader’s heart will swell with pride as the two beings journey to an unbreakable partnership. Along the way, Haley begins to understand herself better. And, in the end, has blossomed into a stronger human being. She also learns that she married the right man and, together they go along life’s journey of being parents and partners.

Of course, Haley ends up keeping the horse and going on to bigger and better accomplishments.

Any horse lover, whether as an owner or a fan, will relate to the trials and tribulations Haley and Nevada go through and cheer the pair on. Enjoy the read. And even if you are not quite out of your teens, read the book anyway.

The story especially resonated with me because I raised a three-month-old Pinto colt to become a dressage show horse and a therapeutic horse.
