In life we will experience loss and grief with those we love. When we connect with others we sign on for an inevitable heartbreak that will come as each relationship shifts, changes, and evolves. Those that have experienced this with animals know the journey alongside them is just as deep, just as profound, and just as beautiful as any relationship in this world.
Warrior Horse—Living and Dying With Animals in a Soulful and Heartfelt Way is the true story of three friends—a dog, a horse, and a human—who journey through life together. Bonded in ways born from the home they find within each other, they lovingly walk together through joy and pain while facing the challenge of death as it slowly approaches.
Heartbreaking, insightful, and powerful in its epic journey from life to death to coming alive again, Warrior Horse inspires us to embrace this journey, to be all-in, and to step forth with those we love into the great unknown and beyond.

Warrior Horse by Chris Lombard is a beautifully rendered and deeply moving reflection on the bond between humans and animals. Lombard writes with a quiet brilliance, capturing the kind of connection that feels less like ownership and more like family—particularly in the relationships we form with horses and dogs.
What stands out most is the way the book honors the unspoken. A glance, a shift in posture, a moment of stillness—these become a language all their own. Lombard illustrates how these subtle exchanges can speak directly to our souls, often more honestly and completely than words ever could. The bond he describes feels enduring, like an eternal flame we carry with us long after these beloved companions have passed.
There’s also a spiritual undercurrent that gives the narrative added depth. The idea that these animals are fellow travelers—beings we may one day meet again—offers a sense of comfort and continuity that lingers well beyond the final page.
Interwoven throughout are meaningful insights about how we engage with animals: the importance of reading their needs, respecting their timing, and approaching them with patience and reciprocity. One particularly resonant line—“We disrespect source when we worry; all things come in their proper time”—offers a gentle but powerful reminder to release anxiety and trust in a larger rhythm.
This is more than a book about animals. It’s about connection, presence, and the quiet wisdom available to us when we truly listen.
