    PR by the Book and Blue Willow Bookshop present a book signing with Racehorse adoption ranch founder Lynn Reardon, 7pm, Wednesday, October 6.

    Lynn Reardon, founder and executive director of the nonprofit racehorse placement agency, LOPE (LoneStar Outreach to Place Ex-Racers), will be in Houston on Sept. 10-12 and Oct. 6th to raise awareness for LOPE and her new book Beyond the Homestretch: What I’ve Learned from Saving Racehorses.

    In Beyond the Homestretch, Reardon shares her inspiring story. In 2002, she quit her Washington D.C. office job and moved to Texas to open LOPE with her husband. Since then, she has helped transition more than 750 thoroughbreds into new homes. Beyond the Homestretch presents a vivid inside look into the world of horse racing, complete with colorful horses, jockeys, trainers and gallop girls, depicting the insights horses can offer when we reevaluate our relationship with them.

    “My work straddles the line between farm hand, equine psychologist, horse wrangler and kindergarten teacher – I often refer to myself as a career counselor for ex-racehorses,” says Reardon. “I see the horses as exciting, admirable ex-athletes with fully developed personalities and hidden vocations. The horses are my mentors as they continue to guide me toward fuller meaning in my own life as I help them find new careers and homes.”
