"The book is beautifully written!...The introduction alone draws the reader in. Laughing out loud at many passages and tearing up also.
I'm on my second read through and absolutely love the book."

“If you appreciate writing as a craft. If you've felt lured by horses. Or if you like a deep dive into the whys. For those reasons and more, you may find yourself, as I did, savoring every word and image in Karin Winegar's latest book, Horse Lovers. Karin came into this world with a love and longing for horses. It seems those feelings predated speech and an ability to walk. This book explores our human (pervasively female) fascination with horses. A terrific read. Sumptuous writing. Vivid storytelling. And journalistic scrutiny. Loved it!”

"Regardless of sport, Karin’s story exemplifies the joys and struggles of passionate women who follow their dreams. It is brilliant and tightly written where every word, every comma, every quote counts!" 
Barbara R.

"I sat down and read it last night in one sitting and didn't go to bed a little before midnight, I read the whole thing in one sitting and absolutely love it. You did such a great job.  I will be ordering more books for more friends cause I think everybody needs to read this."
Jane S.

"If you know a horsewoman, are married to one, have a woman in your life who rides, have a sister or a daughter who rides, or have a friend who's horse crazy, BUY THIS BOOK for them! It's a great read! HORSE LOVERS, Unpacking the Female Fascination by Karin Winegar, is a non-fictional account of Karin's early obsession with horses and her witty and intelligent life-long love affair with horses, riding and writing. The book cover is illustrated by Donna Howell-Sickles. I loved reading the book, know many of the characters in ink and know first hand about Karin's passion for the sport and enjoyed her narration."   
William E.

"Few people write better than Karin does, but she's also called out the heart of the issue--of the love that we crave to give and receive with horses. It's flashed me back on the wonderful aspects of our childhood.I spent this morning in my pajamas, reading the first 35 pages of the book and cried three times. The writing is of course perfection. It's a book so full of heart and perfect sentences that I want to give it to everyone."
Gayle W.

"I specially loved 'Following a Cloud' and 'All the Fun of War' chapters -- to write fear is so much a part of passion and you embrace it so well within moments in each chapter." 
Barbara R.

"At times, this writing seems like poetry."
