A horse! A horse! My kingdom
for a horse!
Growing up in the suburbs was pleasant, but
not idyllic for a kid who would
regularly wander off in search of a paddock
with a horse. I tried every which way
I could to coerse the parents into
getting me my very own dream on four legs.
It took getting married to a very
unsuspecting husband that did the trick!
The horse riding and training, the trail
riding and showing took us into a whole
new world that led to a thirst for
knowledge. How to train a horse in the round yard;
gymnastic exercises in
the arena; the classical seat; the psychology behind
natural horsemanship.
No wonder we needed a larger bookshelf!
We started with two horses (one would get
lonely...!) and now we have...well, more.
They constantly teach us that life
really only needs to be simple; something that we
mere humans just don't
seem to get. However, I do simply enjoy learning more about
the horse, which
led me to equine myofunctional therapy. There is just so much out
there now
by way of natural therapies and horse care that we as owners can learn
and
thereby enhance the lives of our horses for the better.
I hope you can find a pearl of wisdom to
add to your knowledge from within the
collection of horse books, videos and
CD-roms on offer. There is a new range of titles
that will be added soon, so
until next time......
Happy
Trails
