Those who loved Robert Redford's recent movie The Horse Whisperer or Nicholas Evans's book of the same name will enjoy Mackay's unabashed, effusive account of her life as a "horse whisperer", one who claims telepathic communication with horses and an ability to feel their emotions and thoughts. Mackay, a former British jockey who runs her own stable and works professionally as a horse whisperer, diagnosing horses' emotional and physical problems, seems genuine. In this heartwarming account, you'll learn how Mackay transforms the lives of owner and animal. There's Aristotle, the naughty stallion with a heart of gold; Hector, the abused horse who learns to trust again; Gnasher, the balky herd-dog who makes a remarkable comeback; and Charlie, the forlorn Spaniel who convinces Nicci he doesn't need - and will not tolerate - a leg amputation.
