- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book was enjoyable, but it seemed to be more of the story of the author and her many special horses. I didn't see how there was one "remarkable horse" who was supposed to have changed everything.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent a must read I loved every moment and have read it twice already
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was basically just the story of how a couple inexplicably decided they wanted to breed horses with no real purpose, continuously bred their mares despite not wanting to sell any of the foals and not having any where to really put them, and no knowledge or skill of handling or training them, and spent buckets of money on breeding and buying horses left right and center without doing a whole lot of good for any of them. I don't see how this was at all "heartwarming". It's basically just a foolish wife and husband who dabble in horse breeding and don't really seem to know what they're doing or have any direction other than to create more horses than they know what to do with. From what's written in the book, none of the horses they bred were very good at much of anything and never amounted to much other than being pretty. Pretty dumb story in my opinion.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have always loved horses so I was anxious to read this book. In this touching book the author shares the story of True Colors a Thoroughbred horse whom she purchased from The Rocking D Ranch in May 1986. The situation was less than ideal on the ranch, the horses were allowed to run on the range and had never really been handled and were afraid of people. There was one mare that stood out for Jana Harris because of the way the horse guarded her foal. That mare turned out to be a beautiful horse named True Colors. Ms. Harris purchases True Colors and her foal along with another foal that was yet to be born, to be delivered to her farm later. While the foals were delivered on time, the breeders kept putting her off regarding the delivery of True Colors. When True Colors was finally delivered to the farm, she didn't look like the same horse. Her face had been burned and she had a persistent cough because she had gotten to close to wildfires that were going on near the Rocking D ranch.The story the author shares in her book"Horses Never Lie About Love" is a touching story of how the author thru loving care and patience finally gained the trust of True Colors and how True Colors touched everyone around her. I really loved reading not only about True Colors but also the other horses on the Harris ranch. There was the two foals that she purchased named BeDazzeled which she nicknamed Miss Piggy and Abercrombie which she nicknamed Kermit as well as two older horses who were already on the ranch. Reading this story I couldn't help but fall in love with the horses on Ms. Harris' ranch. She easily allows the reader to see the individual personalities of her horses and takes us along while she gains their trust. The pictures that she includes really allowed me to connect with the horses. A heart touching, wonderfully well written memoir that I am certain that I will pick up and reread. Recommended
