Ever want to consider intelligence beyond schools? Read Up, Down, and Over, and follow one person's journey to learn deep listening to hear horses and their stories. In so doing, she came to know her own truths. Without making a test of the levels of intelligence, horses teach us about ourselves and our connection with nature. Up, Down, and Over takes you for a ride among horses and their stories, so that we, too, begin to hear truths about the simple constancy of existence-if we will listen.
