| Summary |
Equus Lost? takes the reader into a dimension with horses where relationships are free of any tension no leadership, dominance, or other control assumptions. It convincingly shows a way forward for 'being' with horses. This new paradigm leaves behind dominance and acknowledges that a horse when allowed, possesses a balanced mind that is curious and driven by his own inner motivation to explore and understand the world around him, including his relationship with humans |
