From Publishers Weekly
Those who loved Robert Redford's recent movie The Horse Whisperer or Nicholas Evans's book of the same name will enjoy Mackay's unabashed, effusive account of her life as a "horse whisperer"?one who claims telepathic communication with horses, an ability to feel their emotions and thoughts. Mackay, a former British jockey who runs her own livery and works professionally as a horse whisperer, diagnosing horses' emotional and physical problems, seems genuine. But all of her enthusiasm and empathy is unlikely to convince skeptics that she can enter into the minds not only of horses but also of dogs, cows, a giraffe and birds ("I just spoke Duck!"). Occasionally even Mackay has her doubts about her telepathy as when she suddenly feels that a parrot patient is communicating to her a need to be "retuned." Still, whether or not one accepts the existence of a God-given gift that Mackay says she's had since childhood, it's impossible to deny her admirable, passionately expressed respect and love for horses and other animals.

From Booklist
With the release of the film version of The Horse Whisperer, books about the ancient art of communication with horses are becoming very popular among the reading public. As a child, Mackay communicated with all animals and just assumed that everyone had the same gift. It wasn't until she began to work seriously with horses that she discovered that she had a unique talent, and it took her a long time to speak out about what she could "hear" from horses for fear of ridicule from all the expert horse trainers she was working with. The book describes her life of helping horses and their owners after her coming out, and it is full of interesting vignettes of troubled horses and her solutions to their problems. Although few believe in psychic communication with animals, it is clear that Mackay has good animal sense, and she is able to explain her findings to a general audience, which recommends her story to all libraries.
