Human actions are never without purpose - even if we don't always
consciously know what that purpose is. Riding as exercise, riding
as competition, riding as social life, riding as countryside
experience, riding as teaching and learning...all these give riders
meaning and satisfaction. Even non-horsy people, and those with
emotional and psychological problems who have therapeutic contact
with horses, can find that their lives have been transformed for
the better. There must be more, and deeper, benefits...What is
going on when horses and humans encounter each other?In this
important book, Wendy Jago draws upon her experiences as a rider
and as a teacher, psychotherapist and coach to offer some
professional and personal insights into horse-human relationships.
Drawing on a variety of disciplines and upon her own struggles and
successes as a rider she begins to unravel some of the fascinating
and profound gifts that horses offer us - just by being themselves.
She shows that without artifice, without manipulation, without
disguise, they offer us a mirror to our true selves, giving us the
opportunity for self-discovery and self-ownership in a way that
human relationships often fail to do. And so they bring us gifts of
inestimable value: reflection, presence, spaciousness, influence,
poise, self-acceptance, authenticity, transcendence, engagement and
connection. No wonder we want to spend time with them.
