The idea of a horse lover capturing their life story in a race horse name and the book that followed, Horsenameographies: Life Stories in a Race Horse Name, was praised by horse lovers from around the country, and the world. Below are but a handful of reactions as they were originally published those many years ago

“It is quite remarkable that so many people were willing to share the intimate details of horrendous childhoods, life-threatening illnesses, and devastating personal losses to describe the seemingly miraculous ways in which horses have healed them in body and spirit. The life experiences, and the names that flow from them, are proof not only of the powerful bond between human and horse, but also the way in which we channel the power, beauty and determination of a horse to give our lives new direction and purpose."
               ---Audrey Korotkin, Two Time Eclipse Winner and the First Executive Director of Triple Crown Productions
 
 
"The horse people have spoken... and they are surely worth reading!"
                                                                                                                       ---Mary Simon, Contributing Editor, Thoroughbred Times
 
"Innovative and intriguing, Horsenameographies is a must-read... Caballo Press hits the winner's circle once again."
                                                                                                                                                  ---Claire Novak, Eclipse Award Winner, NTRA.com
 
"Horsenameographies proves to be an accrued pleasure, building its own, steady case as an opportunity for people to define themselves in terms other horse lovers would readily understand."
                                                                                                                    ---Jay Hovdey, The Daily Racing Form
 
"A novel concept and a fascinating read! Some of the names are humorous, some quite simple, and some offer a momentary look deep into the hearts and minds of people who have been touched by the emotional and spiritual impact of a horse."
                                                                                                                                                          ---John Hernandez, Thoroughbred Connection
 
"Wrapped in platinum, with a bow made of golden stars, this book will bring us to our knees and to tears of joy. But the most compelling thing that this book will do is move each reader to settle down for a while and genuinely go within."
