Riding Between the Worlds: Expanding Our Potential Through the Way of the Horse

One of a few books everyone in the world needs to read! Riding Between The Worlds offers true deep healing through the way of the horse. People dream of a world of Peace, a world of Healing, a world of Love; Linda is one of the light workers that is creating and living in that world today. She guides, assists, and holds the sacred space for others to transform. The world we all long for in our hearts, whether or not we are consciously aware of it.My heart opens to Linda, for the personal healing and feelings brought forth in me! (aaah to actually "feel" my feelings, what an experience!). My love of horses rekindled, I now see them for the magnificent beings of deep wisdom they are.With my hands on my heart and tears of joy, I send my gratitude to Linda and all her four legged and two legged healers.Robert E MarchandDaoist/ Chi Kung Instructor

Reading this book and the Tao of Equus got me back to riding again. I've always loved horses, but felt that I was too old, too out of shape, too inept. Reading these books and absorbing the wisdom made me get out of my chair and start lessons again. So here I am, over 50, trotting around a ring escorted by mostly 12 and 13 year olds,who are far better than me, loving every minute of it. The way Linda Kohanov researched this subject was very apparent in the way she was able to present other people's work, such asKarla McLaren's theories on emotions. She tied it all together for me. For anyone who wants to learn to be real, authentic, and loving..this is your book.

Like the Tao of Equus, this book will probably mostly appeal to Highly Sensitive People, but it is good information for the other 80% of the population. After reading some of the reviews for the Tao of Equus it is clear that some of that majority either aren't interested or are incapable of understanding the information presented in these two books. Nevertheless, it is a courageous act on the part of Linda Kohanov for the rest of us, that 15-20% who have been squashed, like the horses, for being extraordinarily sensitive and intuitive. If this sounds like "whining" to you then you probably won't get it even though the author presents the information in a thought-provoking and often emotionally-charged manner. You'll never convince those of us who cried and were moved the whole way that it's "fluff." It's healing for us, healing we've been waiting a long time for. Thank you, Linda, for speaking out, for empowering me and for being an advocate for the horse "field."

Linda uses her experiences with her own herd of horses to enlighten us to our own emotional process. What horses can teach us is a lot! Linda explores the highly attuned language of the horse and how they react to our subtle cues and emotions. She shows us that humans and horses can work together with the intention of healing and get remarkable results on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels. Her case studies are amazing. This is mindblowing work and is relevent for all of us as we struggle to access our true feelings, reach our potential, and deepen our connection to all our relations.

Once again, Linda has done an excellent job of discribing the nuances of the horse/human dynamic. Linda skillfully describes how our thoughts, fears and emotions influence our relationships with both horses and humans. Riding Between the Worlds is a must-read for anyone who wants to develop subtle communication skills with horses. I found this book to be more instructional than The Tao of Equus. In this book she not only breaks out key elements, but also provides helpful charts in the appendix, which are good resources and references.
