Horse as Teacher: The Path to Authenticity

by Kathy Pike, Marilyn Schwader, Wendy Golding

The stories in this collection will move you to tears, make you laugh, remind you of your first brush with love (in the form of a horse), and most important, connect you with your soul; because that's what horses can do when you are willing to embrace what they so naturally and beautifully reveal to you. The authors come from a variety of horse backgrounds, but there is a common thread --- they all see the simple truth that these magnificent animals, through their presence and grace, can raise our consciousness, peel back the layers to uncover our true selves, and show us how to shine with brilliance.

I was lucky to get a signed copy of this book by Susan Williams who does a wonderful job taking pictures of horses. I really enjoyed this short but enlightening book. A story in particular touched me deeply, it is the one written by Lisa Dee and look forward to getting in touch with her. Another couple of advantages going for this short book: 1) It gives you loads of contacts if you want to research a bit more on some topics dealt with in the stories. 2) They plan to have a whole series inviting different horse experts and authors so more info and enlightenement to come my way!
