Empowered Horses: Learning Their Way Through Independence, Self-Confidence, and Creative Play - Spilker, Imke

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to bottom corners; otherwise very minimal wear; Shatter preconceived ideas of how riding and training horses should or must be, and open your mind to a whole new way of interacting with your horse ... Discover how to preserve your horse's independence in a "human's world" by becoming more passive, receptive, and accepting, giving your horse the physical and emotional "space" to take an unbelievably active role in your interactions both work and play. With your support, your horse will develop games and exercises that naturally balance and collect his body, as if by magic. The key to this dramatic reconsideration of the human-horse relationship is how inner balance finds outer expression in the body. Whether human or hose, feelings, posture, and movement are inextricably linked. With the ability to "tap into" this language, you can leave behind the demands, commands, and cues you once relied on, and instead discover an unbelievable realm of sophisticated and mutually beneficial symbiosis. Hundreds of authentic photos from daily work illuminate the changes in these horses.
