Review on Amazon from reader Alfred Scott:
5 star out of 5. A great way to start my adventure with Horse NovelsThis book is so amazing to me. I couldn't drop it, from the start of the first chapters to the very end. It is so captivating. I am mostly impressed with the writing style, got me wandering if truly this was translated from a different language aside English. The storyline get me bewitched by the characters, I love the protagonist, Tuva, and her love for horses. Ida, is a great character as well, and those guys in America, they are so lovely. It was great that despite the hate expressed towards Colorado, he still came out strong and victorious. I can't wait to read more of this series. The book reminded me of Susan Richard's Chosen by a Horse. I anticipate more from this series, would keep myself alert.

P. English Literature/Peter Okonkwo, Goodreads:, 5 star. "Unstoppable, Undefeatable; Colorado the chosen Horse”...”Helena Mansen's Colorado is a book that held me enthralled until I finish indulging my emotions in it. Gripping, hilarious, and suspenseful, it had me intrigued especially during the description of the racing scenes.”...”The quest for Colorado's identity is an interesting one and I would love to restrict from revealing further in an attempt to keep this review spoiler free. However, this novel piqued my interest, it is hilarious, full of suspense, and beautifully written and I solely admire the characterization, there are characters that you will fall in love with and there are some that you would hate. The plot twist and storytelling techniques were beyond amazing. This was a great read and I can't wait to read the coming series.”

“The author´s own long experience of the horse world is mirrored in this strong and nice story about both animals and people.”......“Throughout the book the reader is all the time pushed on by eager expectation.”

”Helena Mansén has a sound experience and knowledge of the horse world. That she herself has been riding gallop not only on Taeby but also in France and in USA surely explains why the experience of Tuva´s moments on racing course and in training is felt in the hands, legs and seat of the reader. Even if Mansén, like most debutants, feeds the story with more intrigues than necessary, her love of horses is enough to make one wish for more books about horses signed by Mansén.”
