Equine Therapy Books

To understand why equine therapy books are fascinating and informative, one must first look at the horse.

In the natural state horses are a herd/prey animal. Their very survival depends on communication.

Commuication much more developed then mere words. Communication that reads body language.

Awarenss so keen that it can sense the difference of a false front and what is real beneath.

Horses are uncomfortable with falsenss and shy away from it. Horses in effect hold a mirror up so you must see your true feelings.
