"The stories in Horses with a Mission demonstrate the
soul presence in horses as they use their innate creativity, sensitivity, and
intelligence to make choices that serve themselves and others. Karen Sussman’s
account of rescuing and documenting a wild horse herd reminds all of us that
native and indigenous horses have been here for 52 million years. With hearts
and minds open, we can learn from the wild and domesticated horses in this
wonderful book."
--Joe Camp, author of The Soul of a Horse and
creator of the films starring canine superstar Benji
|
"This brilliant compilation of lovely and touching stories
reflects upon the remarkable connection between humans and equines. You don’t
need to be an avid equestrian like me to truly enjoy this book, as the stories
resonate with a spirit of hope and harmony that is shared by all creatures
great and small."
--Alison Eastwood, actress, director, and producer (Clint
Eastwood’s daughter)

"Through their courage, sensitivity, kindness, and so many
other characteristics, the horses in this book become our inspiration and
guides. I was especially taken with the way each story gives us something to
reflect on in our own lives. And each chapter ends with an invitation to follow
up on what we’ve just felt and experienced, a way to experience quiet time with
these magical beings."
--Michael Mountain, former president of Best
Friends Animal Society
|
"Horses with a Mission is an important book, one that will spark your
imagination and inspire you to embrace the magical moments in life that happen
every single day. It also reaffirms what any genuine horse lover
knows: that these sentient creatures deserve our respect. This book was a
joy to read."
--Melanie Sue Bowles, author of The Horses of Proud Spirit and Hoof
Prints: More Stories from Proud Spirit and founder of Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary

“The spiritual and physical bond between horses and the
humans who love them often reaches mystical proportions. Nothing celebrates
that very special relationship more movingly or with greater clarity than Horses with a Mission.”

Catalog and 1001 Best Things Ever
Said about Horses

"Horses are the focal point of our lives here at PhelpsSports.com. We cover these extraordinary athletes on a daily basis, but I think sometimes we all tend to lose focus on what wonderful creatures they
really are. Horses with a Mission allows
us to travel into the world of the horse from so many unique perspectives,
and it introduces us to horses that have touched and changed the lives of
so many people. To have our own writer, Cooky McClung featured in this
wonderful work, makes it all that more fun. It's a fabulous read."
--Mason Phelps, Jr., president, PhelpsSports.com
|
"Many pets are here on this earth to help humans in the
journey of life. Horses, with their primal nature as prey animals, daily make
choices to override their fears, get past traumas, and put themselves in danger
to be one with the humans who love them. The stories in this book are great
examples of the power of unconditional love, which I am reminded of every day
in my work helping clients."
--Lydia Hiby, animal communicator

"As an equine professional teaching in seven countries for
over forty years, I have read and witnessed many inspirational, magical, and
wonderful interactions between horses and humans. Horses with a Mission
is an exceptional collection of such stories. The contributors show fine
writing abilities and talent and share the deep appreciation and love they have
for their equine counterparts. Bravo. Enjoy!"
--Franklin Levinson, www.WayoftheHorse.org
