About this listen

Riding Home:The Power of Horses to Heal, is the first and only audiobook to scientifically and experientially explain why horses have the extraordinary ability to emotionally transform the lives of thousands of men, women and children, whether they are horse lovers, or suffering from deep psychological wounds.

It is an audiobook for anyone who wants to experience the joy, wonder, self-awareness and peace of mind that comes from creating a horse/human relationship, and it puts forth and clarifies the principles of today's Natural Horsemanship (or what was once referred to as "Horse Whispering")

Everyone knows someone who needs help: a husband, a wife, a partner, a child, a friend, a troubled teenager, a war veteran with PTSD, someone with autism, an addiction, anyone in emotional pain or who has lost their way. Riding Home provides riveting examples of how Equine Therapy has become one of today's most effective cutting-edge methods of healing.

Horses help us discover hidden parts of ourselves, whether we're seven or seventy. They model relationships that demonstrate acceptance, kindness, honesty, tolerance, patience, justice, compassion, and forgiveness. Horses cause all of us to become better people, better parents, better partners, and better friends.
A horse can be our greatest teacher, for horses have no egos, they never lie, they're never wrong and they manifest unparalleled compassion. It is this amazing power of horses to heal and teach us about ourselves that is accessible to anyone and found in the chapters of Tim Hayes's Riding Home.

The information and lists of therapeutic and non-therapeutic equine programs, which are contained in the book, are also available at the book's website.

Tim Hayes insight into Horses and people is so incredibly valuable this has been one of the most engaging heartfelt books. I have read in a long long time, and I will read it over and over again as there are so many hidden gems here that stand out to me. I am someone who’s been affected by the kindness and gentleness and honesty of a horse, it was the most incredible feeling which surprised me, because I never knew that a horse was like that. Even if you’re not somebody who knows about Horses or even red in a horse this is a book for everyone, there are healing to be had in the pages of this book.

I never knew Horses could heal people. A must read.

Book was brilliant except when the author begins to talk of tying up horses legs to tame them as if that’s a good thing. Opinions (out of date and lacking scientific proof) on ADHD and the effects of divorce on children were disappointing and insensitive. I loved the parts about horses but felt like some parts took too much of a moral view.

Great book but features some out of date perceptions

not very enthrolling .my mind went to sleep.
