Critics Review
Poignant and inspiring - a timely book the world needs right now. Grounded in a complex yet beautiful landscape of saddles and grit as the shackles of technology drift away, I see nature surrounding me a little differently having lost myself within these pages. A brilliant book that gave me hope for the future – DR DUNCAN HARDING, forensic psychiatrist and author of The Criminal Mind
Moving and refreshingly irreverent, Jock Hutchison’s account of how broken humans and broken horses can heal each other makes for a wonderfully uplifting story – JOHN NICHOL, Sunday Times bestselling author of Blitz and Spitfire
An honest, humorous autobiography – KATE GREEN * Country Life *
A powerful story of failure and second chances * SUN *
Even the most devoutly unhorsey souls will be converted by Free Rein. The story of how a horse-mad lad from Dunfermline ended up starting an equestrian charity in a desperate effort to repair the soldiers broken by war is an extraordinary tale of the bond humans and horses share. Hutchison’s truly inspiring account of his personal mental health journey tells how horses helped him transform his life, and those of so many others. I must confess that I lost myself in the pages. Hutchison’s moving explanation of why these huge but perceptive and gentle animals connect with mentally and physically damaged humans on such a visceral level was profoundly moving * SCOTTISH FIELD *
Jock Hutchison
Jock Hutchison was born in Dunfermline in 1962. Time spent as a teenager in North Carolina transformed his understanding of how to ride and work with horses. He went on to serve as an officer in the Royal Marines before becoming a military helicopter pilot. After running his own successful business, he moved to a farm in the Aberdeenshire countryside and, in 2009, set up the charity HorseBack UK.
