Many people don’t know that I grew up on a quarter horse ranch and spent all of my childhood and teenage years around a mix of racing, cutting and pleasure horses.The bond the main character, Jayne, has with her horses is one I can fully appreciate and relate to.  I can also relate to some of the situations that she went through with her horses.I bought this book as I read in the description- animal communication, medicine wheel and of course – horses, a mix of topics that was magic to me.I found this book very well crafted.  The detail is solid and written by someone who knows horses and understands them.I liked the parts about the medicine wheel a lot.  I’ve participated in medicine wheels before and always came away from the experience feeling I had gained valuable insight.  The medicine wheel in this story – The Wheel of Balanced Learning- was one that really caught my attention.  Later when the medicine woman talked with the main character, Jayne, about building a fire I was transfixed by the part about the differences in fire (male and female). I’d never read anything like this before yet it made total sense to me.I’m not giving away any specific details about the medicine wheel or things the medicine woman said but they were both things that gave me a lot of insight.  This is a great book that really is story of transformation.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Excellent read.
