Recenzii

"Many of the researched chapters here are gruesome examples of horses suffering at the hands of humans; however, Bowers does also include speculative critical thought about a John Travolta movie, a psychic mare, and about the television series, Mr. Ed. In each chapter, the relationship between humans and horses is considered as a case to further Bowers's point, that humans have abandoned their relationship with horses to the further suffering of horses overall." — Auto Machination Review

"In a slim but wholly dynamic collection, Bowers skillfully weaves stories from fact and her imagination to bring these incredible animals and compelling characters to explore the exploitation of horses in human industry. In riveting, intelligent, and heartbreaking scenes, Horse Show is like no other book I’ve read." — Whale Road Review
