"Through enchanting storytelling, Kathy Pike immerses us in the magical relationship that humans can experience with horses. They reveal themselves as shamans and teachers who help us to build positive relations, become intelligent and compassionate leaders, and even bring healing, understanding, and clarity. This book is a rare and beautiful journey into Kathy's artistry of coaching with horses; her storytelling transforms the reader into experiencing the opening of their hearts through the horses' way." --Aldo Civico, PhD, anthropologist and executive coach "Praise to Kathy Pike! What a delightful book rich with stories of life lessons she has gleaned from her special horse herd, not only of her personal treasured adventures, but also of her profound work coaching with horses that changes people's lives. I feel like I get a glimpse into her passionate life with horses and I am on the journey with her. Each chapter ends with self-reflective questions that you can journal about, making the book all the more powerful. From leadership to self-compassion, dancing with horses to living life fully, she offers so many inspirations. I highly recommend this important book that chronicles the horse as healer and teacher.

From wild child to the direct, smart, and honest voice of the spirit of creation that she has become, Kathy Pike shares a lifetime of love for the giving and benevolent nature of horses as guides, healers, and teachers. They show us the way to the sustainable health, well-being, and vitality that are essential to solving the many problems facing our world. This book is a celebration of the path of mutual benefit that is now necessary for the sake of life itself, and an essential reading experience." --Francis Rico, author of A Shaman's Guide to Deep Beauty and founder of Applying Shamanism.
