The Accidental Horse Guy — Spiritual healing with horses for leaders, veterans and those lost between lives We will each at some point face challenging times where uncertainty and confusion are all we feel and vulnerability and courage are the only way forward. For Dan Holden, a non-horse guy, walking into a herd of 1200 pound horses is never a neutral experience. It can certainly be intimidating but, as he discovered, it can also be healing and a profound spiritual experience. He was dropped into what he experienced as an ‘advanced alien civilization’ — a small herd of horses — when he enrolled in an eighteen-month Coaching with Horses certification program. It was as if “…T he horses called me”. The ‘call’ has altered his life. This book is a response to the call. After several hundred equine coaching sessions, Dan believes horses are with us today to serve as teachers and healers with the capability to work directly with the human soul. They offer a path to congruence, peace and greater effectiveness and impact in the world. We need only approach them as the wise, sentient beings they are. They will take it from there. From his perspective, “… Horses are uniquely qualified to partner with us at this challenging moment in our evolution. Now more than ever.” If you are — √ A leader wondering how to invigorate and challenge your organization in new ways; √ Ex-military or first responder grappling with inner angst others don’t understand; √ Feeling lost or temporarily uncertain about your next steps; √ Wondering if or where you now belong — √ Looking for ways to deepen your self awareness and impact in the world; √ A leadership coach or consultant working your/your clients’ developmental edges — Then pick up a copy of The Accidental Horse Guy.
