incident, she's not sure whether she'll ever be able to put things
back the way they were. Gus is ready to start over. He's moved him
and his ten-year-old daughter Abigail to Heritage Cove, where he's

A look into the true nature of the horse and the spiritual
connections between horse and human. The ability of the horse to
sense emotion, energy & spirit goes way beyond what most of us
realise. When Pam Billinge's mother was diagnosed with terminal
cancer, she noticed how her horse's behaviour changed in response
to her emotional turmoil. Thus began a transformational journey in
which Pam came to fully understand the depth of the spiritual
relationship between horses and humans and the horse's infinite
capacity to help us heal. Pam began her pioneering work as an
equine assisted coach and therapist in 2008 and since then her herd
has supported many individuals from all walks of life. In The Spell
of the Horse, she courageously shares her own path to redemption
from personal tragedy as well as many other stories of healing
inspired by the incredible interactions she has observed between
horse and human. This pragmatic, mindful self-help memoir is
perfect for those who wish to deepen their relationship with
horses, themselves and the natural world around them. It sets out
simple principles to help the reader cope with challenges and lead
a happy, fulfilled life. These may include: Compassion and
self-compassion, Finding purpose, Coping with loss, Well-being and
resilience, Separation and loneliness, Career change, Leadership
and self-leadership.
With her landmark first book Horse Speak: The Equine-Human
Translation Guide, trainer Sharon Wilsie upended conventional
methods of human equine communication (using words and ropes, for
example) with her clear classification of the language horses use
with each other (body, breath, and intent), as well as an
unparalleled explanation of how we as humans can effectively mirror
it. Learning to "listen" and "talk" to horses in their language,
instead of expecting them to comprehend ours, is a milestone in the
progressive philosophy of horsemanship, helping find positive
solutions to behavior and training problems and ultimately leading
to fewer misunderstandings between horses and humans. In her much
anticipated follow up, Wilsie uses true stories to relate examples
of "problems" and how they were solved using Horse Speak. Her
engaging narrative introduces readers to dozens of real life
scenarios from different barns, various disciplines, and riders and
handlers with contrasting experiences and backgrounds. Wilsie
highlights her Horse Speak process, the clues that point to the
best course of action, and the steps she takes to connect with
horses that have shut down, grown confused, or become sulky or
aggressive for any number of reasons. The result is a book full of
incredible insight and exciting possibilities.
