An outstanding story about a horse and life. Susan rescues a mare, only to learn about love, death, and trust. The mare, Lay Me Down, in spite of her terrible background, is a sweet and loving and trustful horse. The story shows animal hierarchy and of course, how animals deal with death. I have seen many of these same characteristics with cats. At least, caring owners have the option of ending their pet's suffering, an option not open to family members.
