Linda Kohanov is an internationally-recognized author, speaker, riding instructor and horse
trainer. She is a pioneer in the field of Equine-Facilitated Learning and a respected writer on the subject of Equine-Facilitated Therapy. In 1997, she founded an Arizona-based collective of horse professionals, educators, coaches and mental health professionals exploring the potential of the horse-human bond. That organization, now called Eponaquest Worldwide, has grown to serve clients on six continents. Her first bestselling book The Tao of Equus was selected as one of the top books of 2001 by Amazon.com and received appreciative reviews in publications as diverse as Horse and Rider, Natural Horse, IONS Noetic Sciences Review, Spirituality and Health, and Strides. Four more books followed, including Riding Between the Worlds: Expanding Our Potential through the Way of the Horse, Way of the Horse: Equine Archetypes for Self Discovery, The Power of the Herd: A Nonpredatory Approach to Social Intelligence, Leadership, and Innovation, and her latest The Five Roles of a Master Herder: A Revolutionary Approach to Socially Intelligent Leadership. Linda’s books have been translated into French, German, Dutch, and Czech, and are used as texts at universities.

While Linda often works with horses to teach people advanced human development skills, she also has a gift for helping people take “horse wisdom” into the home, the workplace, schools, and other human environments, offering equine-inspired insights on relationship, leadership, non-verbal communication, creativity, power, spirituality, authenticity, healing, and balance. Her new online video-based training Connections: Life Wisdom from the Herd teaches skills without horses that can be immediately used in personal and professional development settings.

Linda has appeared at numerous conferences and retreat centers, including the 2008 Organization Development Conference, the Omega Institute in New York, Naropa University in Boulder, CO, the 2005 International Transpersonal Conference, Hollyhock British Columbia, the 2003 North American Riding for the Handicapped Conference, and the 2008 Equine Guided Education Conference, among many other venues. Linda’s seminars attract business leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, mental health professionals, artists, spiritual leaders, and activists from six continents.
