From the Publisher:
Healing Power of Horses is the story of how the author,
{>}Wendy Baker, began studying the equine philosophy of the Lakota Indians as a way to return to horses after being badly injured in a horse riding accident. Wendy's healing experience is intertwined with profiles of twelve Lakota Indians who have been strengthened individually and as a community from their relationship with horses. See firsthand how horses have influenced the Lakota-and Wendy-and how they helped her to find spiritual rejuvenation.
The reverence and passion that the Lakota have for their horses is sure to inspire both riders and non-riders alike. Full-color photographs capture the life of the Lakota people and their horses, illustrating the stories of spirit and life.
Hardcover. 144 pp. Full-color photographs.
