Praise for the revised edition of The Tao of Equus
“This updated edition of Kohanov’s classic work takes the reader
and rider even deeper into the realm of myth and insight, with new
explorations of the horse as healer, as well as transformer, of the
human. A must-read.”
— Rupert Isaacson, author of The Horse Boy
“In the revised and updated version of her seminal book, The Tao of
Equus, Linda Kohanov provides a pertinent scientific framework to
elucidate how the sentient wisdom of the horse is whispered back
and forth between horse and human. She skillfully weaves
neuroscience, the polyvagal theory, and some exciting new research
into and between personal anecdotes, healing experiences, dreams,
and mythology. The reader discovers how horses and humans have
coevolved to reciprocally regulate each other’s physiological
states and foster mutual growth and restoration. This timely book
will inspire not only people interested in horses but all those who
recognize the importance of reviving the wisdom of the ancients and
restoring our engagement with nature before it is too late.”
— Ann L. Baldwin, PhD, Professor Emerita of Physiology at
University of Arizona, director of Mind-Body-Science, and author of
The Vagus Nerve in Therapeutic Practice
“This masterpiece invites us to join Linda Kohanov on her
extraordinary journey with horses as she harvests a magnificent
maturation of her work that she first introduced over twenty years
ago. Expect to have an adventure, a trail ride over many landscapes
and across time, if you will, traveling deeply into revelations of
the depth of our human connections with our horse ancestors and
discovering fresh, empowering possibilities for our future.”
— Trish Broersma, author of Riding into Your Mythic Life:
Transformational Adventures with the Horse
“The Tao of Equus inspired the addition of equine-facilitated
learning into our curriculum for medical students and residents.
Linda Kohanov’s ongoing research as a teacher, trainer, and writer,
reflected in this new edition, is an important contribution to the
field of integrative medicine and to our center.”
— Devorah Morris Coryell, director of Integrative Medicine Elective
Rotation (IMER), Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine
“Linda Kohanov escorts readers through a transformative spiritual
odyssey with horses as the guiding spirits. There’s an old adage
that says, ‘When the student is ready, the teacher appears.’ If
this book crosses your path, my advice would be to open your heart
and mind and let it in.”
— Warwick Schiller, horse trainer, host of The Journey On Podcast,
and author of The Principles of Training
Praise for the first edition of The Tao of Equus
“Linda Kohanov’s stories about the mystery of healing and
transformation between human and horse are extraordinary, magical.
Linda has done her homework, and her book stands well on its
research, but it dances on its stories. A book that can change
minds, hearts, and attitudes.”
— Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Animals as Teachers and
Healers
“An extraordinarily moving account of a gifted thinker, writer,
teacher, and horsewoman who dares to venture deep within to explore
the truth of the connection that merges horse, human, mind,
emotion, and spirit.”
— Riding
“This articulate, well-researched story brings together many
disciplines of learning and weaves a magic carpet for discovery
with our horses. The Tao of Equus will allow your imagination to
take flight, and give you insight into yourself and your equine
partner.”
— The Equestrian News
“Kohanov is a steadfast writer who isn’t shy about claiming a
strong feminine approach, showing how mythology and history are
filled with examples of powerful woman-horse connections. She also
has the courage to reveal her paranormal experiences with these
intensely emotional and intuitive animals — stories that may sound
familiar to anyone who has ever loved and dreamed of horses.”
— Amazon.com’s Best of 2001
“An exciting, multidimensional work.”
— NAPRA Review
“This inspirational book would make an excellent gift not only for
horse lovers, but for anyone dealing with fundamental questions of
grief, sadness, and healing.”
— BookPage
“This is a new story in which both masculine and feminine are
healed, raised to honored positions, and offered a clean slate — a
tabula rasa — for the dawning of a new era.”
— Noetic Sciences Review
“The Tao of Equus helps us to experience the exquisite balance
between body, mind, and spirit.”
— Lynn V. Andrews, author of Medicine Woman
“The Tao of Equus reveals the transformative, healing power that is
implicit in the human-animal bond. It is a startling challenge to
anyone wishing to limit consciousness to humans.”
— Larry Dossey, MD, author of Reinventing Medicine
