"Shelley Groom Trevor's foundational book about horses is broken into three parts-each as interesting as the last. The Heart of the Horse is a must-read guide and a passionate testament to the joy of horse riding.

Owning, riding, and falling in love with your horse is more than just a hobby; it's a process and a lifestyle that needs to be taken step by step with intention. Horses are perceptive creatures and often know ourselves better than we do. As such, expert and lifelong horsewoman Shelley Groom Trevor has written a deeply inspiring guide that examines the human's relationship to the horse.

In the first part of her book The Heart of the Horse, Shelley focuses on understanding the nature of horses through respectful observation.

The second part of The Heart of the Horse deals exclusively with humans' connection to horses, and how to choreograph a dance in understanding.

The third and final part of the book is a short memoir of the author's horses-the ones she's been privileged to love and those who have loved her back.

Perfect for new horseback riders, trainers, or horse enthusiasts, The Heart of the Horse proves that ""the inside of a horse is good for the inside of a man"" by illustrating how connections in knowing, riding, and loving horses that can bring about changes where they originate-in the heart of a horse and rider."
