GIVEAWAY – 3 copies of The Spirit of the Horse – Northern France

8th August 2021

We are delighted to offer 3 copies of The Spirit of the Horse, an insightful and inspirational memoir. UK only.

The Spirit of the Horse: More Stories of Life, Love and Leadership by Pam Billinge – Northern France

The Spirit of the Horse

When Pam follows her dream to a farmhouse with five acres in northern France, she is able to live alongside her horses for the first time. Here, in the heart of nature, deeper insights are revealed into the healing connection between horse and human and the incredible power of presence to transform. Might it be that learning to honour and communicate with another species helps us to reframe the way we perceive each other, as well as how we might see ourselves?

A pioneer in embodied horse-led therapy and leadership development, Pam’s story is interwoven with those of inspiring individuals and groups she has supported: from people experiencing relationship breakdown to large organisations looking for culture change; from the bereaved or lonely to the confused wishing to explore what next. Steeped in simple wisdom, the stories offer the reader a pragmatic, mindful template for personal transformation.

Take a look at Pam’s #TalkingLocationWith … piece where you can find out more about the area around Mayenne

    My favourite place is Studland Beach in Dorset. I have many happy childhood memories of it, and try to go as often as possible.

    It has to be my home. There really is no place like it. Although I love to travel I am always ready to get back to it.

    There is a place I see when I close my eyes just before I fall asleep, it is full of shiny moving stars in a very dark background. That’s my happy space, I call it home.

    My happy place is riding the trains on the Seven Valley Railway, getting off at all the lovely little villages and towns and having a nice pub lunch at Arley.

  30. At the stable, in one of the big fields, noone else around except my pony. The smell of horse and hay in the air, the sun on my shoulders and a sense of rightness- can’t be beaten.

    My happy place is the Aegean Sea off Croatia! As soon as I slip into the cool, clean and clear water I feel right at home again!
    I haven’t been there for a few years now & cannot wait to visit again!
