The Tao of Equus (Revised Edition)

A Woman's Journey of Healing and Transformation Through the Way of the Horse

By: Linda Kohanov

Narrated by: Linda Kohanov, Carolyn Jania

After more than twenty years in print, an updated edition of the evocative and transformational classic about the powerful bond between women and horses

When Linda Kohanov wrote The Tao of Equus over twenty years ago, she posed questions that few were asking: Do horses make choices? How do they seem to know what people are thinking and feeling? Are horses spiritual beings? What do they have to teach people? Why are women so attracted to horses? The answers, detailed in this extraordinary chronicle that synthesizes science, behavioral research, and personal insight, transformed how we think about one of humanity's oldest companions and established Kohanov at the vanguard of the emerging field of animal-assisted learning/therapy.

In this updated edition, Kohanov weaves new developments in neurological science and scholarship into her original exploration of spiritual awakening, cultural history, and mythology. The Tao of Equus delves into the mental and spiritual processes behind the magical connections that people often experience with horses. It remains a powerful exploration of the feminine wisdom horses model, subtleties that women riders have intuited for centuries.

Masterful transformative learning

Resonates and provides evidence and scientific reasoning to multidimensional understanding of knowledge that the collective memory of all can share through the healing power of horses, if one listens.

So much more than 1st Edition

This has twice the information compared to my 1st printing original paperback that is well-worn and dog-eared from frequent reading. The updated information adds a great deal to an all ready ‘must have’ for any reader interested in their own personal development and horses! I have pursued Epona Training up to Herdmaster level and i loved every additional tidbit of color to the story. I was just trying to save wear and tear on my poor book!!!!

A profound classic

Most powerful, impactful healing book I’ve come across. The updated version has much to offer beyond what was already a classic, important contribution. Not just for horse lovers!

The Tao of Equus

This book was very enlightening and interesting in the aspects of humans and horses. I highly recommend this book to anyone who owns horses. It may help the reader or someone the reader knows.

A must read for horse owners, and those walking a spiritual path.

A great book on learning the importance of developing a relationship with your horse, and how they can help us heal ourselves.
