This is an amazing article and reflects much of what I do and teach in my therapeutic horsemanship program, EquiHeart. If we use behavior that horses all use in the horse world, we instinctively become better humans to horses, other humans and ourselves. Horses teach us the best relationship skills! All their intuition is fueled by their breath, smells, alertness and atunement to the present moment. I call them the Zen beings! Thank you for this article. It is so important to make this distinction between “power-over” and “power-with.” Through native cultures understanding of horses, I’ve learned that horses symbolize “power in balance.” That is exactly the point you are making here!
