WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE BOOK …
Leif Hallberg, M.A., LPC, LCPC author of Walking the Way of the Horse and The Clinical Practice of Equine-Assisted Therapy
Suzanne Court’s new book Soul Connection with Horses challenges us to expand and deepen our understanding of the dynamic, complex, and powerful relationship between horses and humans. She masterfully and elegantly explores concepts very near and dear to my heart - expanded awareness, presence, spaciousness, honest connection, and so much more. I am over the moon excited that this book exists. Thank you, Suzanne for helping to advance the practices of all those who include horses in their human services.

Soul Connection with Horses is inspiring, spiritual, and insightful. This book is a must have for any Equine Assisted Worker who wants to truly journey alongside their client and horse, with awareness, authenticity and an open-heart. Sharing her own experiences and knowledge, Suzanne Court captures the very essence of this work and the amazing, triangulated relationship with these beautiful sentient creatures.

As a reader who has very little personal experience of being with horses, I found on every page of this inspiring book a respectful, compassionate reflection on the human condition and our place on planet earth. The author returns again and again to guided mindfulness practices such that reading the book itself creates a context for mindful awareness - re-minding us how to be present here and now, and that we are all one. Suzanne Court, PhD, masterfully demonstrates that when we learn to view the world through the eyes of another being - in this case a horse - and observe how they make sense of their world, we can put aside prior assumptions not only of who they are, but also of who we are. This book helps us to begin to be aware of a bigger dimension of existence, and to fathom the meaning of soul and spirit…. The book is a timely re-minder of how nature can lead us back to who we really are, our true selves. By detailing inspiring examples of working with people who have suffered trauma or are experiencing life crises and difficulties, we learn how healing ensues from inviting horses to be spiritual guides, leading us to a place of peace and contentment that is innate to all beings on this planet.
