Becoming Sage
Sometimes, the view from the back of a horse changes everything...
Becoming Sage is the heartwarming and inspiring true story of the author and a special horse named Sage.
As a pharmaceutical sales representative for one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, Eleanor Van Natta walked daily amongst the front lines of conventional medicine. She walked there even while deeply entrenched in her own battle with a chronic illness, one for which there was no pharmaceutical solution.
Just as it seemed she had hit rock bottom with her disease, she met Sage - a horse that would change her life.
The eight year
journey that the author took with her horse taught her volumes about
holistic horse care, alternative medicine, and the gaping
inadequacies of traditional healthcare and conventional medicine -
in both human and veterinary medicine.
Becoming Sage is the story of the life-changing journey taken by Sage and Eleanor, but if you have ever...
- pushed your silent emotions into your cells only to have them roar years later;
- struggled through the maze of human and/or veterinary medicine as a layperson;
- or simply been profoundly touched by a special animal in your life;
...then this is your story too.
One golden horse, two changed lives, and the wisdom revealed.

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."
