Reviews
As I read this book, something long buried rose to the surface: hope.
Hope that horses will be truly heard—something I’ve dedicated my life to. Hope that they’ll be seen as the deeply feeling individuals they are, and treated with the dignity, respect, and gentleness they so deserve. Lisa has put words to what so many of us have felt but couldn’t always explain.
I’ve collected horse books my entire life. But if I had to keep just one, it would be this one.

I’m not a horse person, but this book moved me deeply.
It speaks to universal truths—about listening, connection, and leading with heart.
As someone running a business, it changed how I think about leadership. Kindness and presence matter more than control.
This book stays with you.
