I write to bridge the gap between what we know and what we feel—so the wisdom of horses, the power of spiritual awakening, and the strength hidden in human struggle can finally be understood.

The story of
Adrienne Neary
Inspiration doesn’t just come from distant places or abstract ideas. For me, it comes from watching a horse respond to kindness after years of misunderstanding and abuse. It comes from understanding that a large heart isn’t just a physical advantage—it’s a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and the capacity for greatness.
With this at my core, I feel that unbridled joy and the realization of our true human potential comes from honoring the whole being: body, mind, soul and spirit. The more we can understand, the more we can forgive, the more we fill our hearts with love, courage and respect, the more we can give that to the world around us.
Writing allows me to capture these profound moments and insights—to give voice to the quiet wisdom that animals offer, to explore the spiritual dimensions of transformation, and to reveal the magic that exists in both ordinary and extraordinary experiences.
Through my books, research, artwork, and desire to share love and support, I hope to offer a sense of connection, understanding, and wonder. Every word I write, everything I create, every horse I have the honor of working with is shaped with intention, authenticity, and the desire to leave a meaningful imprint on how we understand ourselves and our relationships.
Horses have been my greatest teachers. Through three decades of dedicated practice—training riders, healing horses, studying anatomy, and exploring energy systems—I’ve discovered that true equine wellness comes from honoring the whole being: body, mind, and spirit.
My work bridges scientific knowledge with spiritual wisdom, practical skill with intuitive understanding, and rigorous training with compassion. Whether through Classical Dressage, anatomical charting, energy work, or integrated methodology, everything I do is grounded in respect for horses and commitment to their wellbeing.
Globally Recognized Equine Anatomy Charts
Pioneering Equine Energy System Charts
Building of a foundation in anatomy and physiology, I combined my studies in equine energy systems with my applied energy work, using Reiki as my foundation. During my years as a professional in the horse industry, I’ve recorded hundreds upon hundreds of energy sessions for horses, and their progression toward better, more balanced lives.
Integration of Anatomy & Energy
The power of equine energy charting lies in integration with anatomical knowledge. Charts show how the energetic system overlays and interpenetrates with the physical body, illustrating the profound connection between physical and energetic health. This holistic view honors both Western scientific understanding and Eastern wisdom traditions.
Professional Applications
Used by:
- Reiki Practitioners (locating energy centers for healing work)
- Holistic Practitioners (identifying energetic imbalances)
- Trainers Using Energy Work (supporting positive changes)
- Veterinarians & Wellness Professionals (complementing traditional medicine)
- Researchers (studying relationship between energetic and physical health)
- Equine Educators (teaching whole-horse understanding)
The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection
Understanding equine energy systems reveals how emotional and spiritual imbalances manifest as physical problems, and how physical healing supports energetic and emotional wellbeing. This integrated understanding transforms how we approach equine care.
This all led me to document and introduce a revolutionary, integrated approach toward educating people, and how they might approach wellness for their equine companions.
As an equestrian, author, illustrator, researcher and Equine Energy practitioner who studied with world renowned instructors Dr. Henri van Schaik and Dr. John Harvey Gray, I had a unique opportunity to absorb the wisdom they imparted and combine it with decades of my own experiences.
One of my proudest achievements came with the collaboration and support of the wonderful and intrepid owners of a very successful Carriage Driving and Dressage facility. Together, we pioneered an integrated form of horse care using Classical Dressage as physical therapy for horses, and energy work to establish individual energetic baselines and support positive changes. I used my equine anatomy charts along with my newly created equine energy charts to record novel courses of healing. We were also better able to facilitate more comprehensive and consistent communication between horse owners, barn managers and equine professionals.
This led to my book, Coherent Horsemanship: Combining the Quantum and the Classical. For more information about Coherent Horsemanship, go to: www.coherenthorsemanship.com
