In Going Beyond, Chris Adderson invites us to discover the power of unspoken connections—those deep, intuitive, dynamic-movement networks we can create with others, including horses. Through intentional practices of awareness, reciprocity, and care, this book offers a step-by-step path to transform thoughts into meaningful actions that foster integrity, harmony, and mutual understanding.
Drawing on her own journey of silence, Adderson shares stories and insights to help readers navigate feelings of disconnection and loneliness. With heartfelt guidance, she shows how to cultivate clarity and intention in our interactions, leading to more fulfilling relationships—whether with a horse, a loved one, or within ourselves.
Beyond words, beyond feel, beyond knowledge Going Beyond is more than just a guide. Going Beyond is a call to embrace thoughtful engagement and find balance in the way we give and receive, helping us move from isolation to connection, one deliberate step at a time.

“Be prepared…it’s glorious!
This isn’t a book about horse-riding technique or step-by-step training—it’s about reclaiming the quiet wisdom of the body, dissolving the borders between control and compassion, and learning to feel deeply enough that movement becomes meaning.
In an era where prominent voices like Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk have openly questioned the value of empathy—calling it a distraction or even a threat to Western civilization—Chris offers a vital counterpoint: that empathy isn’t a weakness, but the highest form of intelligence. A sacred strength. A language older than speech.”
