Conversations With Horse: An Uncommon Dialog of Equine Wisdom [Paperback]

Kate Solisti-Mattelon (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2003

Kate Solisti-Mattelon has proven herself to be a talented and objective translator of what animals have to say. Here, she introduces readers to the horse not only as archetype, but also as a living, thinking being with very definite inclinations. With her telepathic facility, she listens and transcribes the answers to such questions as "Do horses like to be ridden?," "Does a horse mind being kept in a stall?," "Are stallions the leaders of the herd?," and "How did it come about that horses and humans have formed such a significant bond?" The answers - sometimes surprising and always delightful - bring humans to a closer understanding of this majestic creature.

Book Description

Horses have inspired, awed, and worked alongside humans for centuries--but have we really ever gotten to know them? In Conversations with Horse, professional animal communicator Kate Solisti-Mattelon takes us inside the mind of the majestic equine, revealing hidden insights from the equine spirit. She breaks through the species barrier and goes beyond personal animal stories to ask horses what it is they want to tell us. By reading about horses' innermost thoughts and feelings, horse lovers of all kinds will learn how to reestablish the original contract of love, trust, and mutual respect between equines and humans. You will learn how horses, as a species, have committed to bringing humans into balance with self and with other physical beings on our great planet. Horse gives us many gifts, but perhaps the greatest gift of all is to teach humans to trust. Conversations with Horse is filled with revelations and accented with photography that captures the spirit of horse from Tony Stromberg. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars You thought you've read them all..., August 5, 2003

Just when you thought you've read all the "horse whisperer" books out there. This one finds me. I thought this would be the same as all the others: herd behavior, flight instinct. etc. etc. Well it was, and it wasn't. There were insightful, reassuring methods and so many things that I have never thought about. This book is full of wit and humor and reading it seems to float on a cloud...that may not make sense, but it will once you read it. It's like the whole world is resting on that pretty white pony's back and he's just sleeping and you can hear him thinking. It's amazing. Kate is the greatest.

While this is a small book, don't be fooled. It is not a quick read, neither is it trivial nor shallow. However, the average "horse person" will probably dismiss it as New Age airy-fairy baloney as it requires one to THINK. Remember: the number of years one associates with horses does not necessarily equate to knowledge or experience . . . there is a much bigger realm than the average mind recognizes. This book delves into the wider universe of co-existence as opposed to domination. It is not a how-to book about horses. It's a how-to book about life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful message, April 14, 2007

This review is from: Conversations with Horse: An Uncommon Dialog of Equine Wisdom (Hardcover)

Conversations with horse is a great launching pad for a new exploration, not of what we have to teach horses but of what horses have to teach us. Those of us who try to really listen to our horses won't find a lot of new information, but will feel comforted and understood. Those of us who have been too scared to listen and let go of our weak methods of control like bits and stalls might get a gentle jostle to look closer. If you don't buy into animal communication, you probably will find this book to be paper thin. If you do accept animal communication this book with be as rich as a wedding cake. This book isn't about individual horse behavior or training, it is about connecting with the Great Mystery that is behind it all, where we and the horse can experience oneness.
