The shocking and inspiring life story of Gary Witheford, one of the country's leading horse whisperers. If Horses Could Talk, which is co-written by award-winning journalist, broadcaster and author Brough Scott, tells Gary's story through the prism of the horses and animals that have most affected his life. The book starts with Gary's terrible sexual abuse as a child, and how he managed to overcome this. Animals and horses in particular became a central part of Gary's life as a direct result of his abuse. His inspiring and uplifting stories about these horses and animals will amuse and fascinate. Gary says: My life has been inspired as well as saved by horses and I hope that telling my story can inspire others too. Brough Scott adds: Communication comes in many forms. That which Gary Witheford has with horses is among the most remarkable I have seen in any language. Anyone who has ever had anything to do with a horse will be inspired and mesmerised by Gary's story, and shocked by the early part of his life.
