#Horses #EquineFacilitated

"There is something about the majestic arch of a horse’s neck. The thundering power of a horse running wild and free with flared nostrils, alert eyes and pricked ears that makes us catch our breath. This exquisite animal has shared space with us both in the physical and mystical realms for thousands of years. As far back as our earliest ancestors, who portrayed hundreds of images of horses in their stunning cave paintings, the horse has captured the imagination and hearts of people. These awe-inspiring, large, powerful animals continue to draw us towards them in new and fascinating ways." ~ Excerpt from 'The Horse Leads the Way: Honoring the True Role of the Horse in Equine Facilitated Practice' by Angela Dunning Image by Adela Lia Rusu, licensed via Shutterstock

"In the end, our horses will show us the way, as they have been patiently trying to do for so long in our enduring relationship with them. What is beholden on us is to listen..."
