Synopsis

Two years ago author and horse trainer Linda Kohanov wrote The Tao of Equus — a daring multidisciplinary exploration of the powerful spiritual, emotional, and psychological connections between people and horses. Its provocative narrative, blending her story of prescient dreams and ancestral communication with a wide-ranging exploration of equine-facilitated therapy practices, created a worldwide demand for her workshops and lectures. She also received more than 1,000 letters from readers around the world describing their own strange and wonderful experiences with horses. In Riding Between the Worlds, Kohanov continues sharing the story of her own journey of healing and transformation and further develops the ideas introduced in The Tao of Equus, bolstering her groundbreaking theories with anecdotal evidence. Where her previous book laid the theoretical groundwork for expanding our emotional, mental, and spiritual view of horses, Riding Between the Worlds concentrates on the extraordinary stories that support this view.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"In this stunning work, Linda Kohanov explores a powerful and exciting brand of therapy: one where the patients are two-legged but the psychiatrists have hooves! Linda examines the fascinating interchanges and psychological growth that can occur when we honor horses as our teachers and healers. Her revelations are breathtaking and her writing is sterling. This landmark work is not just a celebration for horse lovers, but for all animal lovers everywhere. Read it and treasure it!"
— Amelia Kinkade, author of Straight from the Horse's Mouth: How to Talk to Animals and Get Answers

"Linda has the courage to go beyond the limits of our current beliefs in order to help all beings. These conceptual and experiential stretches are just what we need in these challenging times. Cherish her insights into the remarkable healing connections with our Kindred Spirits and allow them to transform you. Read, learn, and blossom!"
— Allen M. Schoen, MS, DVM, author of Kindred Spirits: How the Remarkable Bond between Humans and Animals Can Change the Way We Live

"Daring, deep, and right on target. Kohanov's work with horses and healing may be startling and challenging to many mainstream horsetrainers and psychotherapists, but it is a head-nodding, knee-slapping affirmation to those who have experienced — over and over again — the astounding potential of the human-animal relationship. Beautifully done!"
— Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Animals As Teachers and Healers

"Linda Kohanov has done every human a favor by helping us build a bridge of equality and respect between ourselves and another species. Interspecies dialogue — the opening she gives us — I hope we all can pass through. Certainly every highly sensitive person will be glad to know the highly sensitive horse. If you love horses and have inherited a vein of sensitivity, you must read her books."
— Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D., author of The Highly Sensitive Person

"Linda Kohanov shares compelling stories from the world of horse-and-human relationships — stories that can help each of us rediscover the intelligence of our hearts, and reconnect to our native ability to converse in the universal language of authentic emotions. Linda's empathy, dedication, and deep respect for animals — not as pets or trophies, but as friends and mentors — shines through every page."
— Karla McLaren, author of Emotional Genius: Discovering the Deepest Language of the Soul

"For those who have not discovered the synchronicities of the human-equine world, Riding between the Worlds provides a profound opening of that window — well worth the trip."
— C. Norman Shealy, MD, Ph.D., founding president of the American Holistic Medical Association
