The term Heart Horse is used to describe the deep bond—a soulmate-like relationship—between a horse and its human, special enough that many equestrians believe there is only one heart horse in a lifetime. Because this connection is so powerful, the potential for profound transformation is high.

Exploring universal and poignant themes, such as grief and joy, illness and recovery, death and rebirth, Dr. Allison Brown presents a magnificent collection of life-changing, often life-saving stories, each scribed by a human author but inspired by their equine partners. These twenty, gifted writers are an esteemed and accomplished group, including an award-winning author and animal communicator, the 2024 Equus Foundation Humanitarian Award winner, and a NASCAR retiree turned equine specialist - aka our founder, Katie Stankiewicz, brought together for a common goal: to remind humanity about what’s possible when we connect with The Horse.
