Book Reviews The Psychology of Horsemanship by Claire Lilley
I am thrilled to have such lovely reviews this month from both Equestrian Trade News and Therapy Today. It is so exciting that this book appeals to both the horse world and the mental health profession! I learned so much more writing it: a real learning curve which has given me a greater understanding of my horses, and myself as a human being, horse owner and rider.
The Psychology of Horsemanship Book by Claire Lilley
The Psychology of Horsemanship Book by Claire Lilley
Gaining insight from my own real-life experience, I look at the relationship between the horse and their human partner, and how it impacts on both mental and physical development. This book aims to help horse owners, riders, coaches and therapists alike, exploring how both can benefit from a depth of understanding with each other, with a focus on how fear affects riders and horses. My hope is this book unravels some of the intricacies of the human/horse bond.
My experience as a riding coach for over 40 years informs my practice as a psychotherapist (Claire Ballardie MBACP), working with all aspects life, and the trauma associated with impactful life experiences. I keep my 3 horses at home, a great benefit to spending time with them. I still ride, and the horses assist me in therapy sessions, should they choose to!
