"Your horse is testing you"

Your horse is testing you", "You can't let the horse win", "You have to be the lead animal for your horse," and many similar phrases are still on everyone's lips and minds, believed, taken to heart when dealing with horses, and passed on to others. But are they really true? What exactly is your horse testing? And what does it want to win? This book sheds light on these and other questions and encourages you to take a closer look.

The way we interact with horses is largely determined by what we have been told about them and by what is still being taught about how to handle them today. What if horses were very different from what we think we know about them? What if another approach brought us closer to understanding horses ? What if we could be and work with them without pressure and dominance? What if we could achieve the safety we desire in dealing with them in ways completely unrelated to control?

Ever since I was a child, I have loved horses. I love everything about them: their gentleness, their noble character, their authenticity and their wisdom, their smell and their beauty. I love how they show show us our own limits, how they try to make us understand and how much we can learn from them. About them, about us and about life.
