Review of...Saving Nevada: One Woman, One Wild Horse, and a Hundred Days to Save Each Other by Lori Hayes

Based on a true story, Lori Hayes’ Saving Nevada is a powerful, heart-pounding journey that introduces readers to Haley Wilson, a woman embarking on the 100-day challenge of training a wild Mustang named Nevada. With the ultimate goal of preparing the mare for a public performance and then auction, the stakes couldn't be higher: failure means the mare’s return to the lonely holding pen, while success promises a chance at a forever home. But this particular Mustang is a formidable, dominant spirit, forcing Haley to confront not only the complexities of horse training but also her own deeply personal hurdles—patience, perseverance, self-comparison, and the courage to accept help. As an unshakable bond forms between trainer and mare, Haley finds herself falling deeply in love with Nevada. The dream to win Nevada at auction begins to form, but her husband has concerns about their finances. Will Haley meet the challenge, proving her mettle as a trainer and securing Nevada’s future? Or will the auction block tear apart a connection forged in grit and love? This is not your normal saving-a-horse story. I was absolutely hooked from the opening paragraph until the very end, desperate to discover if Haley could truly save Nevada, and perhaps, herself in the process.
