Do horses make choices?  How do they seem to know what people are thinking and feeling?  Are horses spiritual beings with a destiny all their own?  If so, how is this destiny connected with humanity's future? How does the equine mind compare with the human mind?  What do horses have to teach people?  These are some of the questions writer and equine therapist Linda Kohanov explores in her extraordinary book The Tao of Equus. In it she intertwines 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.
