I was initially drawn to this book because it has "horses" in the title, but it turned out to be very engaging. It takes place during WW 1 in a small western town where a young woman arrives looking for work breaking horses. She finds the work, and the descriptions of her work with horses are wonderful. In addition, all of the people she meets are unique and interesting, as are the changes and growth that she experiences. The characters ring very true to life and true to the era. I really enjoyed the book.
