Editorial Reviews

"The Elements of Horse Spirit is an epic, yet intensely personal and practical book. Debra's perspective on the role of Horse and horses in our lives is deeply meaningful and incredibly thorough, and as you embark on your own journey—a joy to learn from!"—Sunny Schlenger, author of Organizing for the Spirit

"The gift of self-realization and the higher octave of life lies within the essence of the horse—sacred, powerful, beautiful, wild, joyful, intelligent, and adventurous....Informative and delightful, this book is a tale of one woman's incredible journey into healing. A true shamanic inspiration. The prose glitters. The experience is real. An excellent story of 'Yes, you can!"—Silver Ravenwolf, bestselling author of To Ride a Silver Broomstick

"An inspiring, well-researched, interesting, and deeply personal book....It masterfully weaves together the history of the human-horse relationship, the mystical influence of horse energy, our physical connection with horses, and the healing qualities of being with our equine friends. I enjoyed the insightful meditations and practical tips that help the reader tune into and harness horses' gentle power. This, combined with Debra's skillful writing that is interlaced with personal experiences and humor, makes the book so much more than an informative, hands-on volume on horses; it is a multi-dimensional manual for personal growth, interpersonal relationships, and healing on all levels."—Lokita Carter, cofounder of The Ecstatic Living Institute
