Horses are powerful beings
It appears that I am to come out of the closet even further than I already have… and I thought that I had come pretty far out of the closet with my books “Bobby’s Diaries, Straight From the Horse’s Mouth to You” and then even further with “Zen Connection with Horses”.
We have a wonderful worldwide movement gaining ground, where the mental, emotional and physical well being of the horse is being promoted and abuse of horses in all kinds of ways is being changed. The changes range from dramatic neglect and torturous practices to practices that were considered normal, but are now no longer acceptable to thinking horse people.
There’s a whole bunch of people out there almost simultaneously developing beautiful ways of being with horses. It is a cascading effect of wonderful things happening in the horse world.
It makes the contrast of the shocking abuse stories that we see, even more shocking.
So here’s a thought from me about how we (you reading this article and me writing it) how we ordinary people can help these horses change their destiny.


From desperate and dangerous to Grand Prix prospect in five days. Keep your eye out for this combination – they are going places!
This gorgeous big quarterhorse mare had a pretty serious reputation when she came into one of our clinics while we were still writing
Holly bought Random 3 days before this clinic. How would you like a relationship like this, that fast?
His owner is a very competent three star eventer. She said, “I brought him to the clinic because the ways I would normally handle a horse that bucked were not working and I just knew they were never going to work with this horse.”
