New Interview with Conscious Animal Radio Show I have recently been interviewed by Christine Agro of the Conscious Animal Radio Show. It was a wonderful interview where we talk about examining our spiritual journey and how horses function as teachers, guides, and healers. We've also added my past interview with Lisa Ross williams to the new media player so if you haven't already heard it, you can do so here as well. Any future interviews will simply be added to the playlist with the newest ones at the top.

One With the Herd receives
5 star review In the pages of "One with the Herd: A Spiritual Journey", author, artist, and horse breeder Liz Mitten Ryan draws upon her years of experience with her herd of eleven horses to share her reflections on our relationship to the planet upon which we live, the animals we share our planet with, and how we can best achieve peace, freedom joy and an appreciation for life and for living. Her engaging and thoughtful text is nicely illustrated with her own paintings, as well as occasional color photographs. "One With the Herd" is the deeply personal story of a woman who lives with a herd of 'wild' horses with whom she communicates, plays with, and rides without use of tack on a remote 320-acre ranch in the high country of Canada. Within the context of a natural setting, Liz Mitten Ryan discovered profound spiritual truths rich in emotional texture and intellectual acumen through her interactions of her horses roaming freely over the grasslands, forests, meadows, and lakes of her ranch, only to return on their own to her barn where they benefit from a loving, open, supportive interaction with humans. "One with the Herd" is highly recommended for community library collections and will prove of very special interest to non-specialist general readers with an interest in horses, wildlife, spirituality, and metaphysical meditation. -Midwest Book Review
"For those looking to escape for a little while, and revel in the beauty and spirit of horses, her book is a must read" -Laura Neufeld - The Canadian Horse Journal
"One of the best pieces I have ever read!" - Lisa Ross Williams - Host of "If Your Horse Could Talk" Show Senior Editor - Equine Wellness Magazine
All Things Horse Welcome to the site of Liz Mitten Ryan, author, artist, horse breeder, and equine communicator. Here you will find spiritual and metaphysical books, horse books, ideas for horse training, natural horsemanship techniques, and new methods of horse riding - as well as animal, nature and horse art. You can investigate horse workshops, ranch vacations, and horse therapy. The term "Horse Whisperer" is often used, and Liz is a whisperer - an equine communicator. In her new book One with the Herd, which can be ordered now, Liz refers to herself as a Horse Worshiper, meaning she adores, dotes upon, and unconditionally loves horses. In this remarkable and beautiful book you'll discover the profound wisdom of "HORSE", and a concept coined "Equinisity." It shows how all of creation is united in spirit, no matter the species. Liz Mitten Ryan shares her story of living with a horse herd who roams freely as they would in the wild, but are afforded the benefit of a loving, supportive, interface with humans. She breeds and trains Warmblood horses. Liz understands and communicates their wisdom as great spiritual teachers. Living on Gateway 2 Ranch in close proximity with her horse herd, and in seclusion from the rest of the world, opened the door to spiritual insight and the mysteries that the horses revealed. One with the Herd is a love story that could change how you think about animals and life forever. Equally important, this new book shares rare spiritual insight.
