This is an exceptional book that is not only easy to read but inspiring. Pamela had a wonderful way of not only healing animals, but also inspired others to follow in her footsteps. Her compassion and insight into touching the horses emotional space is amazing.

Shiatsu is a gentle, deeply effective holistic system of health care. It comes from Asia and has been developing for over 5000 years. A sister therapy to acupuncture, it employs finger pressure to gently stimulate the body's natural healing ability. Touch is also an extremely important method of communication between individuals of one species and between species, and horses are particularly responsive to both the healing and the communicating touch of Shiatsu.
Many of the techniques that Pamela Hannay demonstrates in this book are simple, can be learned quickly and are easy to apply. They are safe because they require only the application of the hands in a gentle and natural way. They treat physical problems and those of emotional pain and stress. The author emphasizes the importance of self preparation for the practitioner and shows how meditation can help develop an understanding of how a horse thinks and feels. Among the many benefits of this therapy are:
- Early recognition and treatment of problems before they escalate.
- Treatment and elimination of musculo-skeletal problems including stiffness and some forms of chronic lameness.
- Maintenance of suppleness thus reducing susceptibility to injury.
- Maximizing physical potential.
- Activating the immune system.
- Stimulating circulation, the nervous system and the release of hormones.
- Relaxing and energizing the horse and promoting a feeling of wellbeing.
- Establishing and deepening communication between horse and rider.
