Horse, Follow Closely

Description

Horse, Follow Closely is about the relationship training methods that are steeped in common sense and the age-old wisdom of the author’s Native American ancestors. The book begins with an analysis of how horses came to live with the Natives of North America and horses’ impact on Native life. Native Americans were able to create such strong relationship with horses in a short time because they understood that “a horse is a horse.” Learning to balance the relationship between horse and human is the missing link to becoming a masterful horseman or horsewoman. The book describes not only the techniques involved for relationship training, but also the belief system and attitude that must be applied to all methods of horsemanship. In addition to presenting the methods and philosophy of relationship training, Horse, Follow Closely also includes many stories and legends of Native Americans and their horses, all of which teach the reader something new about himself and his relationship with his horse.
