    I enjoyed how he listed examples of working with the horses ...
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017*

I purchased this book because I was doing research for my own book.  Wanted to see his approach as a way to improve or organize my own book.  I was also drawn to it, because it was written by a neurosurgeon. To me, that seem a bit unexpected and out of the ordinary.  Out of the ordinary I am drawn to.  I also understand that he works with horses using equine-assisted therapy. Being a person who once was a Social Worker and also dabbled in Equine Assisted therapy & learning programs, I was also drawn to this book for that reason.That being said.....The book, is exactly as it says.  It is lessons from his experience's with horses. Very practical lessons. I enjoyed how he listed examples of working with the horses and how they think. Then he took those examples and how it directly relates to our life, AND how we can use those lessons in our everyday life.The only piece that I thought was missing, and this is just me, is that I didn't really find the "HEART" part in this book.  There seemed to be unattached emotion regarding the lessons. More theoritcal type approach and language. Something you might read from a text you bought for a college course.  Intellectually written, no doubt.  You can definitely be tantilized by his conceptual writing.I guess I was expecting more 'heart' felt stories.  Stories that would leave me feeling in awe, or those warm, fuzzy feelings you get when you read inspiring stories.  That was my expectation and what I had hoped for, and why I purchased the book.  A neurosurgeon who could write with 'heart', how intriguing, I thought.  But that is me!  A doctor of any kind is more of a left brain intellectual, that is less conected to the emotional world. They are logically minded.  Nothing wrong with that.  We are who we are.  But, what I thought was, oh wow, here is someone who is incredibly intelligent, who was/is a neurosurgeon that will write stories that will be from his heart to ours.Again, my expectation, not necessarily, his failing.In conclusion.  I am a person opposite of the Left Brain thinker, I am a Right Brain thinker. Intuitive Empath, HSP person, highly connected to the emotional and unseen world around us.  Emotions and intutiion are how I live and write!  I can bring a reader to tears. That is what I do best.  This author uses the pracitcal, intellectual, theoritcal approach to life lessons with horses.I wouldn't say I'm dissatisfied with the book, but just not quite as happy as I had hoped.  :-)

    A must for any horseman's library . . .
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2016*

Not more than 20 pages into "Lead with Your Heart . . . Lessons from a Life with Horses" I knew I had found a kindred spirit in Dr. Hamilton.  Before finishing it I had ordered multiple copies to share with others around the world who share the magic that comes from the magnificent character found in our horses.  I loved the format and the illustrations, but most of all the poignancy of each brief essay.  Each topic conveys so clearly the result of taking these amazing animals for what they are; learning, through their unfailing honesty, how we can become better human beings.It was no surprise to learn that the author was greatly influenced by the Dorance brothers and Ray Hunt.  I will be forever grateful to the late Ray Hunt for being my mentor, and my friend, when I was a young and striving horse trainer.  He started me on a path that I will the walk the rest of my days toward a full understanding of the horse and of life itself.  Today, rarely a day goes by without some reminder of Ray and a feeling of gratitude for opening a door for me toward horsemanship and living a rewarding life.  Only in Allan Hamilton's writing have I found the essence of this philosophy in the written form.I'd urge anyone that has experienced the special life knowledge that can come from dealing with horses on their level - indeed anyone with an openness to what our species can gain from truly connecting with another - to add this book to their library.  It is a classic!

    I absolutely LOVE this book !
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021*

I am now reading this for the second time. I LOVE the messages within this authors style of writing and beliefs. He is fabulous and believes in being kind to horses and that is how I think. I do not use a bit or shoes or whips. I use my love, kindness, patience, pressure and release, and more love !My Dreamer is my best friend.If you love your horse please read this book of heartfelt knowledge. : )
