Summary:  "After a severe horseback riding accident in 2011, journalist and author Marjorie Simmins finds herself unable to walk. During the slow months of recovery, Simmins replays a lifetime of memories related to her beloved horse companions and the adventures they shared. Finally back on her feet, she makes a bold and surprising decision: she will ride again, in a discipline that is new for her, and she will even compete in a horse show - her first in 42 years. The former hunter-jumper of modest ability commits to full-time training as a Western rider. Dynamic and lyrical, Year of the Horse shares the heart-lurching highs and lows of a 55-year-old horsewoman determined to put the pain behind her and to create the sunniest of futures with new, extraordinary horses in it. Onboard Winnie, a dazzling quarter horse palomino, she grows stronger and more capable again. The mare challenges Simmins and pushes her to the edge of her emotional and physical limits. Simmins' initially modest goals take fire and she finds the support of a whole new horse community across Nova Scotia. Written for every horsewoman or -man who's had a serious setback and never lost the love of the sport, or the animal.
