In the world of equestrianism the horse is so often a tool - a machine. Horsemanship -The Revelations goes in search of the ghost in the machine, the inner horse. This book covers many subjects including the horse in pain, equine autism and mental illness. No stone if left unturned. Compelling, truthful and often heart wrenching are the words of 'Horsemanship - The Revelations'. Holly lays bare the innate abuse horses suffer at our physical, mental and emotional demands - deliberate or not - and the all-round care and handling regimes; the effects of which burn through the physical horse, tearing right through 'the inner horse - the invisible ghost'. There is far more to the horse than most of us realise or accept. I defy anyone to read 'Horsemanship - the Revelations' and not be humbled enough to seek 'the invisible ghost'.
