Review: Horsing around
Rating: 3 out of 5

A young woman thinks she has been swindled when she bought a pregnant horse. Experts have told her that the foal wasn't the type of horse that she thought it was. Now it is up to newspaper editor, Sue-Ann to figure out what is going on.It is obvious that the author really knows what she is talking about when it comes to horses. This should make it even more appealing to horse financiers when reading this story.There were two problems with this story in my opinion. The first is that there were quite a few typos/glitches for a short story of this length. The other is more of matter of opinion. I am not a fan of having character's speech being written like it sounds. Using hoss for horse and ah for I is just annoying to me. Gina's speech is especially confusing since she and Sue-Ann have supposedly known each other since childhood but talk very differently. It seems that they would both have the same accent if they grew up around each other. I would prefer the author just saying they spoke in a country accent or maybe threw in a word here or there. The way it is done here is just distracting from the story.
