Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses: How Horses Teach Us About Presence, Strength, and Awareness
by Linda Kohanov Kathy PikeHope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and re-leasing negative thoughts. Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species. Among the moving stories the author relates are a horse named Hope who teaches the difference be-tween hope and faith; an abused horse's background bringing up old memories and helping the author to move on; a young Olympic equestrienne hopeful who dis-covers and reaffirms her self-esteem; and a corporate training session in which one participant achieves great success merely by being honest about her fears. As you see how these people grow deeper into them-selves as they learn the horse's way, you, too, will be inspired to explore and apply the deep and ever-lasting connection and communication between horses and humans.

This book is, in part, an effort to make certain that we never again forget extinct species nor the others of which Cokinos write. As Cokinos traveled to libraries and natural history museums, he learned of other vanished birds: the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, the Heath Hen, the Passenger Pigeon, the Labrador Duck and the Great Auk. He was moved to write about them, and the result is this impressive book about the ¿ghost species¿ of the North American continent. The cover has the look of stained and mottled pages from a naturalist¿s notebook. Illustrations.
