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 the 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 healing and 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.
