Will I love The Tao of Equus?

A Woman’s Journey of Healing & Transformation through the Way of the Horse. I was enthralled with Kohanov’s story of how she awakened to the spiritual presence of horses, and her research, along with the connections she made to mythology, was fascinating. When I read this book, I had two horses and an elderly mule, and while I’d always felt the emotional peace that comes from a horse’s presence, I was inspired to explore that more deeply and appreciate the spiritual connections they generate. 

This is another book I found while researching my own, and it opened up a whole new way of looking at horses and how they relate to us and to each other. By sharing her own journey of discovery with horses, Linda Kohanov shows the way they can sense emotion and how that can be used to help people. I was so intrigued that I spent a day having equine-assisted learning myself – an amazing experience that left me calmer and happier.
