Hope from the Heart of Horses

How Horses Teach Us About Presence, Strength and Awareness

by Kathy Pike

Hope…From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one’s instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communication, and releasing negative thoughts.

 

Among the moving experiences the author relates are a horse named Hope who teaches the difference between hope and faith; an abused horse’s background bringing up old memories and helping the author to move on; a young Olympic equestrienne hopeful who discovers and reaffirms her self-esteem; a corporate training session in which one participant achieves great success merely by being honest about her fears.

As you read how these people grow deeper into themselves as they learn the horse’s way, you will be inspired to explore and apply the deep and everlasting connection and communication between horses and humans.

Foreword by Linda Kohanov, author of The Tao of Equus, Riding Between the Worlds , and Way of the Horse .
