Summary: Some good ideas, but not completely accurate...
Review: I am a traditionally trained Reiki Master/Teacher. I am also a horsewoman of many years, and a horse owner. I found this book to be a mixed bag of the good and the not so good.My main complaint about this book is the inaccurate way Reiki is portrayed. If you buy this book thinking you'll be able to learn how to treat your horse with Reiki after reading it, you'll be sorely disappointed. Reiki can ONLY be learned IN PERSON from a Reiki Master/Teacher (beware of anyone who tells you they can attune you to Reiki over the Internet, they cannot.) However, if you are already a Reiki practitioner, this book is a moderately useful tool to assist you in learning to treat horses with Reiki. There are other books out there which cover treating animals better than this, but none are specific to horses, so this might be a good addition to your library if you're looking for horse-specific works. But it's not quite what it promises to be, and there is the potential for people to be misled into thinking they can use Reiki on their horses after reading this book. Please feel free to email me at "laura@duluth.com" if you have any questions about using Reiki on horses (it's a LOT of fun) or learning to channel Reiki yourself.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: I bought this book along with "Natural Healing For Animals" by the same author, looking for "Hands On" information. Both could be interesting to read if you have no concept of technique and are just curious, but I am familiar with this in humans and was looking for Flow charts to convert my knowledge to use in horses and cats. This is not a practical guide in any way. Only an introduction to concept. I feel I really wasted my money on both books. There is nothing concrete to work with.

Summary: could be much better....
Review: i read this book and have to agree with Laura (the first reviewer) - it is misleading for those who think they can learn reiki from a book. also - there wasn't much detail. if you already do Reiki (like me) and are seriously interested in working with animals, it may help a little. for example, two things i specifically wanted to know were the equivalent chakras on a horse and a set of hand positions. these are in the book, but i feel that i would change the hand positions a little from what clare uses. this was written from one person's point of view, and nowadays there are many variations on Reiki. it doesn't make her view wrong or right - just different! it's not a waste of time, but it isn't all that i hoped it would be. on that note - i decided i may try a hand at writing a book on reiki & animals (in particular, horses).
