The Tao of Equus
by Linda Kohanov

The story of the spiritual awakening she experienced with her black mare Rasa with compelling neurological research cultural history mythology and first-hand anecdotes from years of teaching and facilitating equine therapy.
She delves into the mental and spiritual processes behind the magical connections people and women in particular often experience with horses. She skillfully describes the subtle behavioral nuances horses express and perceive what she calls the "wisdom of the prey" as well as a feminine wisdom found in her powerful interactions with horses bringing to the page subtleties that women riders have intuited for centuries.
Blending her extraordinary experience what some would consider paranormal with a wide-ranging survey of the phenomena of horse-human communication Kohanov delivers a ground-breaking work sure to interest both longtime riders and readers interested in the leading edge of animal perception and animal-human communication.
