5.0 out of 5 stars Mental bonding, June 13, 2000

By	Jamie (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beyond the Mirrors: The Study of the Mental and Spiritual Aspects of Horsemanship (Hardcover)

This is one of the most helpful books I own. It helped me to really bond with my horse on more than a physical level. It teaches you how to spend time learning your horse and discovering their hidden talents and personality traits. I highly recommend it

5.0 out of 5 stars Introspection aids communication, October 4, 2002

By	"kjshasta" (Johnson City, New York United States) - See all my reviews

Jill has many accomplishments to her name, but her skill as a true communicator is equalled by few.All her books work from the basic of learning to know yourself non-judgementally so you may have much deeper understandings of your horse, & anyone you have to deal with in the "real world" also. learning the lessons in all her books gives you the opportunity to have much more successful outcomes in any encounter-man or animal & leads you to a higher level of understanding yourself & what motivates. I've used her books as a reference for a communication skills seminar for fellow nurses I developed & Jill was of personal assistance on several occasions. We need more like her , Susan Harris ,Sally Swift, & jane Savoie

4.0 out of 5 stars Great information, May 7, 2007

By	Jennifer Davis (Gallatin, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was really well put together. The information was great. It gets a little dry at times and sometimes it skims over information that you wish it would go deeper into. It is a quick read and touches on some great ideas though. I would recommend it to anyone that is into the more spiritual aspects of being a horse owner. It's not for everyone though(in my humble opinion, of course).
