Biographical Note: "Once again Tim Hayes has shown us that there is a lot we can learn from horses. Their herding instincts and patterns--as we see in these pages--are as fascinating as they are instructive." --Carl Bernstein, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author "How I love this book It's a journey of the heart, the head, and the saddle. What a read for getting a glimpse of what heaven really is. Tim Hayes is a miracle man with horses and with people. Get this book, it will change your life!" --Judy Collins, Grammy Award-Winning Singer, Songwriter, and Author "This book is for anyone and everyone. Seeing Tim with horses and humans was a profound moment in my life. His concepts of love have given me a new perspective in all my relationships. The world is becoming a better place because of Tim's work and the lessons he teaches about life and relationships. I can't recommend his book enough." --Gerry Cooney, World Champion Heavyweight Boxer "A central point in Horses, Humans, and Love is understanding the herd mentality of the animal. Once a hierarchy is established, the horses care about and protect each other. The author's hope is 'If we can learn from horses.... maybe we can learn how to love ourselves, each other, and the herd of eight billion we call humanity.' Pertinent lessons from the barn for our fractious times." --The Arts Fuse "Love this book. Self-help--life-help--coaching spirit--sage advice. Herd dynamics apply to us all. Buy it!" --Catskill Horse Magazine Praise for Tim Hayes' first book Riding Home: "Tim Hayes is a great storyteller, blessed with passion for his subjects, horse and human. The lessons you'll take away from this beautiful volume of healing and love between man and nature will stay with you for a long time." ―From the Foreword by Robert Redford "Riding Home is essential reading for horse lovers and everyone who works with people who need healing." ―Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human Publisher Marketing: A remarkable follow-up from the author of Riding Home: The Power of Horses to Heal If you were asked to make a list of all the people you love, how long would it take until you put yourself on the list? Years ago, when asked this question, Tim Hayes didn't have an answer. But today, after working with horses for more than 30 years, he not only puts his name on the list, he puts it first. When humans learn to love themselves, they become more compassionate. They become better parents, children, husbands, wives, partners, and coworkers. In fact, they have more successful relationships in general. Over the course of his career learning about horses and horsemanship, and eventually teaching it to others, Hayes gained an understanding of the profound social skills evident in horse relationships. This is known by many as herd dynamics and includes what he names as 10 specific qualities: Acceptance Tolerance Patience Understanding Kindness Honesty Trust Respect Forgiveness Compassion In Horses, Humans, and Love, his follow-up to Riding Home --the book Robert Redford called "A beautiful volume of healing and love between man and nature" and Temple Grandin said was "Essential reading"--Hayes explains how and why when humans emulate these 10 qualities of herd dynamics witnessed in horses in their own human relationships, they naturally express and thus demonstrate the true altruistic meaning of what we call "love," both for others, and for ourselves. Through his personal journey and inspiring stories of those he has worked with through the years, Hayes reveals how horses can teach us all how to compassionately reconnect with our shared global humanity and put an end to self-created, antagonistic, superficial human differences such as race, religion, nationality, wealth, and ideology. He shows us how horses have the ability to instantly remind us that we all share the same world, share the same fears and desires, and more than anything else, desperately desire to get along with each other. In his thoughtful descriptions of his own experience and research, Hayes illustrates his spiritual and philosophical struggles to understand the state of the world today and how we each can work in simple yet impactful ways to make it better. His conclusions, having reflected upon and shared what he has learned through the horse, leave readers with an infectious optimism one might even call hope. His book, a gentle treatise for change from a remarkable horseman, will be enjoyed by all those seeking to improve their own lives and that of our global community. Review Citations:
