What is the true nature of the horse? Authenticity, Wild spirit, running free, sense of family, leadership, freedom, strength, balance, journeys, spiritual freedom and understanding, love for Mother Earth, connection, and oneness with all creation. The physical aspects of the horse: Eyes, feet, hearing, food, environment – what do they really need to be happy? Let’s begin at the beginning – why did you pick up this book? The horses spoke to you in a silent whisper, and told you to look deeper into your soul for a much more gratifying answer. You know there is more, and that’s why you are here, on the quest for more. Good for you! For to find the true nature of the horse, you must first find and understand the true nature of yourself, we are not so very different to them you know, we are all one. Have you asked yourself these questions recently? Who am I really? What do I really, really want in life? What does it take to be truly happy? What does that mean for me? Am I living in a reality that is connected to my soul, or am I seeing the world through the filters of abuse, violence, lack of confidence or fear? How do I change that? To know a horse you must see yourself with complete honesty, and this doesn’t mean beating yourself up about your seeming lack of achievement. This means being able to answer the questions like – what 3 words would I use to describe who I really am? What 3 words would I like other people to use to describe me? Therein lies a great answer, a deep truth only you can know. Spend some time and ponder this, for it will bring you to a deeper reality and knowingness of yourself than you ever thought possible.

About the Book
Riding from the Seat of Your Soul came about after I had read Wayne Dyer’s book about the wisdom of the Tao. After living with horses for over forty years, I experienced the power that they have to change lives on a day-to-day basis, not only my own but also the lives of my students. I will never forget the transformation of a little boy who was eight years old and who had never spoken a word. He garbled, and every therapy that had been tried failed to elicit speech. I was teaching Special Olympics equestrian at the time on my farm in Jamaica, and one day, I thought I heard him say the name of the horse he liked to ride. His teacher and I were sure we were mistaken, so we asked him again: “What did you say?” He repeated the name of the horse. It was the first word he had ever spoken! Of course, we were all in tears of joy, and it was an experience I will never forget. After reading Dr. Dyer’s Living the Wisdom of the Tao, I thought to myself that some of the philosophical ideas could be related to not only the way we live our lives but also the way we treat our horses as well. This book has something for everyone, and you don’t have to be involved with horses to get the idea.
