The Horse Fund haven’t had a “Win This Book” in ages. Boy, do we have something extra special this time.
It is called: “SAVING BABY” — How One Woman’s Love for a Racehorse Led to Her Redemption, by Jo Anne Normile of Canter fame, and currently of Saving Baby Equine Charity.
I have read it, and in my opinion, this may be one of the most important books written about horses this decade.
Even though it about the experiences of a woman who owned and raced Thoroughbreds, Normile has written it in such a way that it not only exposes the cruelties in horse racing but also teaches us about the needs that must be met for any horse to have a good and prosperous life.
She also reveals — in case anyone has any doubts — the horrific consequences for horses finding themselves in the slaughter pipeline.
