Book description
SPOKEN IN WHISPERS is the autobiography of a remarkable woman. Nicci
Mackay is a horse whisperer, one of only a few people in the world who
can calm agitated horses or revive their broken spirits by translating
what they say. Nicci, who has had the extraordinary gift of being able
to communicate with animals since childhood, tells her story with
honesty and humou r. She writes about a life dedicated to animals-from
her years spent as groom and jockey in a racing yard, when she operated
in secret, to more recent times, after the media discovered her amazing
abilities. She now spends her time travelling extensively, translating
and interperating on behalf of animals for their owners. Nicci gives the
reader a rare and facinating insight into the minds, emotions and
bewildering behaviour of our four-legged friends, from thoroughbred
stallions to sheepdogs, opening the door to their world through often
hilarious, sometime poignant, but always thought-provoking adventures
and encounters with the animals she has met throughout her life. As well
as horses, Nicci has worked with a variety of domestic pets, farm
animals and birds. This will delight all those who share her love of
animals. Nicci Mackay was born in 1964 and started riding as soon as
she walk. Her first job was as a groom in a racing yard from which she
worked her way up through the ranks in various yards to jockey and head
girl, finally setting up her own livery and training yard.
