Sarah Maslin Nir is here today to talk to us about the powerful relationship between horses and humans. From her compulsion to seek justice, to the beautiful safety she explains that prey animals need, to her honesty about horses being her refuge, Sarah's obsession is a gift. She shares what horses mean to her and how they bring people together; she shares horse history and the lesser-known intricacies of the equestrian world only a horse crazy person would know. As a journalist and staff reporter for the New York Times and as a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer prize for local reporting, it is in Sarah's recent book “Horse Crazy” where her talented journalistic reporting is woven with stunning personal narrative. Sarah is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, a man who was a prominent psychiatrist specializing in trauma, so prepare for an episode that is heartfelt and deep as well as informative.
