“ Many people love horses, but few have the sensitivity to write about the depths of the relationship, Madeleine is among them.”
Melanie Reid, The Sunday Times

"There is wisdom, there is profundity, and there’s a charming style to the works which – despite embracing themes of ageing, death, and the dangers that are palpably present to our environment – are lightly penned and seem to whinny, canter, and trot this way and that, carrying the reader on a journey that’s emotional as well as heartfelt. 
In all, it’s a sweetly affecting book, and very accessible to any reader."
Mab Jones, poet, writer, radio presenter and Buzz poetry columnist

"A deeply moving series, with supple use of rhyme. I found an evocation of a landscpe in flux convincing and poignant. An unusual weaving of ecological and philosophical themes with the everyday rural and personal."
Anna Orrige, environmentalist, 'Hot Poets' Award Winner

"Though the work seems simple, its messages are deep without being didactic. It contains an emotional truth which this reader found most satisfying. As the girl says to the horse, "You've shown me what my life is worth." This is a tale that pulled me up and asked me to take time to contemplate the way I am living a life that is all too short. 
For that I am most grateful."
Jane Fraser, award-winning author of  Advent, The South Westerlies, and Connective Tissue 

"An original and heartfelt collection inviting us into a tender, wild world woven with the feminine experience and the intimate, powerful and healing relationship a woman might make with the natural world."
Claire Steele, writer, editor and publisher; Constellations Press
