"This gentle, introspective book explores the very special bond that occurs between humans and horses...the author...shares her own story with humor, empathy, and humility, giving readers a good look into the rather unique world of the horse-obsessed, from childhood pony to life-long companion. If you are a horse lover yourself, you will find this work especially enjoyable. If you're not, you will gain a much greater understanding of what motivates us to seek the company of these noble, incredibly powerful-yet-sensitive creatures and how we thrive, grow, and blossom as a result. C.S. Marks, PhD, Professor Emerita, Equine Science, Author of The Elf Hunter Trilogy and The Alterra Histories. I'm not a horse person. If I were a horse person, there would be nothing wonderful in my loving this book. And I do love this book. I love the connection Janet Alexander always felt with horses, even before she had come into personal contact with one. That speaks to the pull we all feel toward our souls' completion or our spiritual path or whatever you choose to call that activity, place, person, or entity that makes us feel whole. Marian Allen, author of The Wolves of Port Novo and the Sage trilogy. As a lifetime horse owner, I have to say that I LOVE this book! I'm taking my time reading it. I'm tempted to devour it, but instead I will savor it the same way I consume my last piece of dark chocolate. Susan V. With the drum of hoofbeats as a backdrop, it's a privilege and honor to experience life and the trail through Janet's love of horses and her memoir At Home on a Horse in the Woods. Thank you, Janet, for giving us all the courage to never quit believing in the power of faith and the childhood dream. Amber Massey, Author of For the Love of Horses. A beautiful and relaxing ride through the lovely woods, on the back of a trusted best friend.This book is a beautiful tribute to the relationship between humans and horses and to being aware of, and frequently in awe of, your surroundings in nature. The author experiences the joys of living in the present and shares her joy with her beautiful words and an open heart. I will definitely read it again, and I will love it again. Bev A. Inspiring... made me want to give my horses a hug and thank them for letting me ride them through the woods and trails with a new appreciation for the beauty and wonder of nature. Dreams can come true. Gretchen M. Janet is an astute observer who captured vivid and revealing details of her heart, her horse, and their shared environment. By writing down her observations and feelings immediately after their birth they remain forever fresh. Her gifted writing put us right in the woods with her...The influence of the Spirit on Janet's soul, life, and writing is apparent in this excerpt..""In close physical contact and companionable silence, [my horse and I] I enjoy life and appreciate the beauty of God's creation together. Riding is a form of prayer."" Amen and thanks to Janet for sharing the happy trails. Larry G. A series of beautifully written essays and prose poems that come together as a memoir/meditation by one woman's love and transcendent connection to all things equine. [The Author] opens her life and heart to the reader, sharing her personal struggles, longings, joys, and spiritual journey as well as her ever-widening discovery along the way of the beauty and wonder of God's world through the beloved horses in her life. Patti Liskay, author of Equal and Opposite Reactions. Janet Alexander has written a beautiful book! This gem is a meditative and relaxing ride down the bridle trail, exploring the natural world around us as well as the world within. Highly recommended! Karen"
