About Horses and People

Horses have accompanied me my whole life. For a long time I believedthat it was my job to correct them and to teach them something. I onlyunderstood relatively late that this goes both ways best. Today I knowthe horses have made me who I am today. They are my best friends, myteachers and my therapists. They are straight, much smarter than wethink and loyal. They reflect us and always give us the chance to do better.If they love, they will never use their speed and strength against us andabove all, they can forgive and have infinite patience.With this book, with my personal experience, I tried to give back someof their gifts. I wish that more riders and horse people have similarexperiences as I did and are able to meet their horses and perhaps eventheir fellow human beings with an open heart, patience and love.
